David, I did not look at your config closely, I only have some general advice because I had similar experiences in the past: watch out for config settings which allocate the given memory setting per connected client rather than one time for the server as a whole. The former can easily kill the performance if the number of connections gets too high. I found that it is often not immediately obvious which settings are which, without checking the manual.
