[users@httpd] Apache optimization

Hi,

can anyone send me the way to optimize the Apache and increase max
connections limit. I am using Apache 2.2.8. I also need some benchmarking
tool for Apache.

Increasing MaxClients is usually enough, although the actual upper limit
is dependant on memory usage of each request. Only you can tell that.

Other tunables such as StartServers and Max/MinSpareServers simply
control the ramp-up rate for preforking new workers.

'ab' is a basic testing tool and should come with Apache.
