I think 16KB may be enough for most general use. One
way to find out for sure would be:
- Implement your max-free limit
- Set the limit to 8KB
- Build a prefork MPM, set a breakpoint in the allocation
function with gdb, and send some typical requests to the httpd
- Keep increasing the limit until it no longer hits the
breakpoint after the first request
