This sounds more like a HACK, rather than a solution.

750/8 ~ 93M each... that's awfully lot for a httpd child.
Are you sure you're not leaking memory anywhere?
Setting
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestsperchild
back to default (usually it's set to 0 == infinite), might show if it's
leaking or not.
Also take a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/perf-tuning.html

If this doesn't help you, you might want to supply your MPM configuration,
also a listing of the used modules would be a good.
