Here's the mpm config:
        MaxMemFree              1024
        ThreadLimit             256
        ServerLimit             3
        StartServers            3
        MaxClients              768
        MinSpareThreads         25
        MaxSpareThreads         75 
        ThreadsPerChild         256
        MaxRequestsPerChild     2000000
