Thanks for the suggestion. According to the man page the version I'm running uses 128 threads by default, but offers a "Threads" global directive to adjust this. I just changed this to 512, so we'll see how that affects it. I've been getting notifications all morning about the service restarting, so if we can go an hour without one I think we're in good shape. I'll let you all know if that was it.

I'm not sure abount Pound 2.7, but I think the 2.6 version uses a pool of a fixed number of threads, based on your configuration; the default value could be too low for your increased load.
