Disable the caches. You don't need them for a site that only gets a few hits a day. The configuration below runs on a P2-400 and can still serve 40 pages/second: wwwrun 1056 0.0 1.3 12296 3556 ?

In fact, the Apache that does run on the same machine: root 1193 0.0 0.0 97424 140 ? R 2003 0:39 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /etc/httpd/httpd.conf wwwrun 13427 0.2 1.4 98212 3600 ?

It's just a normal Apache configuration, even with a few modules removed. Php is installed however, and it is really memory hungry.
