Good advice. To go a step firther, this is all covered in detail in the mod_perl documentation here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/performance.html#Performance_Tuning_by_Tweaking_Apache_Configuration In addition, I would suggest using a much higher MaxRequestsPerChild setting, but using something like Apache::SizeLimit to keep the size of the processes from growing indefinitely. - Perrin
