It's interesting to see that trac gets more http than https,
shouldn't they all redirected to http ? A random one I picked
(last line in the log) is a download of a 48.9 MB .zip file
requested by a bot:

 "Baiduspider/2.0; +http://www.baidu.com/search/spider.html"

Trying that url shows it's indeed not redirected.
I don't know how does this relate to the performance issues, if
at all, but in any case I guess it's something that could be
looked into (both forbidding spiders to download zip files
and reviewing automatic redirect to https).

  # grep 'format=zip' trac-ssl-access.log.1 | wc -l
  519
  # grep 'format=zip' trac-access.log.1 | wc -l
  10849

A quick look at the error log reports robots.txt isn't found.

--strk;
