sweet so bumping tcp-request inspect-delay from 1500ms to 3s dramatically slowed down activity :)
tried apachebench with tcp-request inspect-delay of 1.5s, 2s and 3s giving me 217 req/s, 97 req/s, and 67 req/s respectively. Without rate limiting around 948 req/s thanks Baptiste --- posted at http://www.serverphorums.com http://www.serverphorums.com/read.php?10,445347,447698#msg-447698
