It's itk MPM but still under development and avilable for experimental use
only. So can't use it under production. I have also changed the Server-Pool
Size Regulation
StartServers 20
MinSpareServers 15
MaxSpareServers 50
MaxClients 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 10000
Timeout 300
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 5
Thanks,
