Keepalive Off = Reduced Impressions?

    While trying to optimize my dedicated server I turned KeepAlive (in httpd.conf) Off and noticed a big improvement in performance but for some reason the number of page impressions that phpAdsNew recorded was a lot lower than usual... Is this normal?

    Server specs:
    AMD Barton 3000+
    2GB RAM
    80GB IDE Hard Drive
    Centos 4.3
    Apache 1.3.37, PHP 5.1.6 and MySQL 4.1.21

    The server load is very high during peak times and I know I need a better server but for now I have to stick with this one and try to optimize it more (any help with optimization would be much appreciated too);

    Here are the main settings of the httpd.conf:

    Timeout 50
    KeepAlive Off
    MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
    KeepAliveTimeout 3
    MinSpareServers 10
    MaxSpareServers 15
    StartServers 10
    MaxClients 256
    MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
