I think that if you activate the KEEPALIVE would be good, because indicates how many seconds the agents are wating without respawn or bring new childs to attend requests... but you must be a higher time... 15 secs order that an agent or httpd process (server) waits 15 seconds for next request and if not, dies.... In 15 secs you as user, begins to read the page.
I tried with 240 secs, aprox 4 minutes and my server worked ok... In these 4 minutes a user reads a few paragrpahs, saw images, check ideas and may be choose click another link.... the same agent continues serving him, without died, respawn or fork. If someone knows more details about this paremeters and possibly I'm wrong, please comment it.
