The machine is definitely not swapping. It has 16 gig of ram, and top never shows more than 7 gig of ram in use when I do the load testing. I have maxclients set to 1000, but the number of apache processes never gets close to that value. I've played around with various settings for maxclient, but as long as I don't set it too low, this never comes into play.
