    drop the keep alive timeout to 1 - 3 seconds at most. This will free up connections. increase your maxclients (provided you have the ram). turn off zlib compression if your cpu is being eaten alive. get rid of magic quotes. theres a few other things but those are off the top of my head.

    Remove all unnecessary DSO modules to reduce the Apache memory footprint. Remove all other unnecessary services to free up the maximum amount of physical RAM for the web server.

    variables_order = ‘GPC’
    register_argc_argv = ‘Off’
    register_globals = ‘Off’ (this is a good idea to keep off for security purposes as well)
    always_populate_raw_post_data = ‘Off’
    magic_quotes_gpc = ‘Off’

    Disable Error Logging. This is a good idea to keep on when you are developing your scripts, but it has been known to decrease overall performance.
