Hello,
we encountered some bad performances, and, look for network problems, then NIC 
problems, we now suspect apache bad settings. We are out of idea, and need some 
help to understand how apache work, and how parameters can affect its 
performances.
First, we experienced random lags with apache, those lags were frequent and 
lasted more than 10 seconds. (default apache settings).
We altered the apache configuration, and we noticed that apache reboots after 
some time (the second apache process) ; we de-activated the apache logs, for 
fearing bad apache performances. Those are the parameters altered and their 
values :

KeepAlive           ON
MaxKeepAliveRequest 500
KeepAliveTimeout    600
ThreadPerChlid      200

We observed that apache at launch creates 200 threads, and then creates new 
threads up to 400; then it keeps 400 threads, and restart after about 1 hour.

Have someone an idea ? Question ? Explanation on how this  settings affect 
apache ?
