You should definitely use apache to serve up the static files (images, css, javascript) directly rather than have cherrypy do it. That should free up your cherrypy threads "do real work" and should improve your concurrency issues.
You may also want to try reducing the number of threads you open up in your cherrypy instance. If you have 400k of HTML, you're likely looking at Kid as a bottleneck. Try skiping the template rendering (just return an empty string at the end of your controller) and see what happens. If you have huge tables with lots of tags Kid can get pretty slow and you may want to try another rendering engine like Mako for that page. I'll try to find some links for some decorators you can use to time things in turbogears.... They were posted on the mailing list some time ago.
