Which processes are swapping?
Have you tried setting MaxClients to say 10 (or some other low number
that'll ensure you don't run out of memory).
I just did, and cleared the swap before doing another testing. The result:
Nothing swapped, but the average response time goes down by 20 seconds. I
guess Perrin was right, with 30 MaxClients, the processes are competing the
CPU cycles.
I think I have to write some of the code in C. I can't find any other places
in the code to optimize (or probably I uncounciously don't want to make
changes because I don't have any test suites)...
