I run everything off the one box and it's fine. The slow download speeds without external webserver aren't because the server box's connection is being overwhelmed, but because downloads from the gameserver are limited by the client's rate and the server's sv_maxrate settings, which are tuned for the, by comparison, low bandwidth game messages. Just about any dedicated server in a datacenter is going to have bandwidth to spare, relative to the CPU and memory demands of gameservers. And unless you are in the lucky position of having your CPU and memory usage go _exactly_ to 100% when all servers are full, chances are there'll be a little left over for apache to run in.
