mod_proxy garbage collector virtually don't work with large sites. I have to
remove cache files manually via crontab.

Don't think those two play a big role in mod_proxy performance.

It doesn't matter, as long as mod_proxy doesn't do memory caching.

see previous.

Check patches at: http://www.w-m.ru/~ilya/source/apache/xfire_patches1.3.9.tar.gz
There's some functionality additions. Note: it doesn't work with
apache versions other than 1.3.9.
