    Hi all,

    I`m running apache2 http server - and since some time it does not feel "crispy" anymore. I used apache-status to make sure there are enough processes and or childs free.
    In the logs are no warnings that I should increase something.

    Before trying to adjust 20 values, I`d like to know if anyone could give me his parameters. It`s a single http server, no load balancing or such. There is a vbulletin 4.2.0 PL3 running, reaching 3000 simultanias users. I got plenty of RAM, CPU and IO performance left. xcache seems to work great - so I think it`S all about apache2. Server specs:

    - 32 cores (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2665 0 @ 2.40GHz)
    - 128 GB RAM
    - SAS 15K HW Raid, (doing more then 1gb/s)
    - gigabit connected

    Thanks for any hints ;)

    greets, Nik
