Pretty sure we're hitting up against a concurrency problem. I can
reproduce the issue on a machine that's not in production with very
similar specs by running ab (apache bench) on three hefty client
machines with concurrency set to 1,000 on each machine. Doing some
tests serving static content, I changed my config from prefork to
worker, and the situation improved quite a bit; however, the PHP
modules our site uses aren't thread-safe, so that's not a practical
choice for the moment.
