So how do you fix the problem, other than by adding many gigabytes of RAM to the server? One easy way to get around this limitation is to either reduce the KeepAliveTimeout to a mere second or two, or else to simply turn KeepAlive off completely. I have found that turning it down to 2 seconds seems to give the client enough time to request all of the files needed for a page without having to open multiple connections, yet allows Apache to terminate the connection soon enough to be able to handle many more clients than usual.

A few more pointers for a faster server:
Disable ExtendedStatus unless you're actually debugging. Same goes for mod_info.

HostnameLookups off is good (particularly if you're not running a local DNS server)

Setting Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
saves a few io reads (apache doesn't have to check if its a symlink, it just goes ahead and traverses)

Finally, setting a more reasonable timeout value than 300 will help save you the ram that a slow modem user is tying up, when you're really getting bombarded. (try 30 sec. or less)
