There is another thing you can try. Judging from the process size you've
given it looks like you are not using PHP or a similar Apache module.
Also, you didn't specify anything so I assume you are using the default
configuration, which operates in "prefork" mode - MPM_PREFORK, which
means a separate process is forked for every request.

If all of this is true, you can trivially switch to the worker-threaded
MPM in which every Apache process (which will be of comparable size to
the one you currently have) will handle a large number of request. In
effect, instead of e.g. 50 Apache processes active for 50 connections,
you will have 2-3 Apache processes.

Enable WITH_MPM=worker in /etc/make.conf to enable this.

I am using PHP, in fact. I've listed all the loaded modules below, and marked the ones I added with an '*'. I need the proxy modules because I use Apache as a front end for Mongrel.

BTW, this is Apache 2.2 on FreeBSD 7.1

This WITH_MPM=worker sounds interesting. I'll have to read up on it. I guess there is some downside to enabling it, like slower performance?
