KeepAlive will cause a connection to stay open (and a process to stay busy
listening on it) for a period of time after the response is sent, even if
nothing at all is happening on that connection.  I think the default wait
is 15 seconds.  That can really add up fast when you have your MaxClients
set at less than 100.

KeepAlive is great on a proxy server or dedicated image server though.
