In that case you might find moving images to a dedicated host and setting up pound to proxy to it would be useful. I did that on one site - the main site was www.example.com, and all images were hosted on img.example.com. Then I had apache running to handle the main site, nginx to handle just the images, and pound at the front to direct traffic to either localhost:80 (apache) or localhost:81 (images). Even with the extra processes running it was significantly faster than previously - although the additional complexity made it a little irritating.
