256MB on a 170mhz Ultra 1

They brought it up to 128MB which raised service up to about
2mil/day and then it started crawling again. At 256MB and 768 
hard_server_max it seems to be handling it well. This is Apache 
1.2.1 BTW.

Also, if it did not come out in my posts, they have 2 of these 
servers that are _each_ serving 3mil/day. Numbers in that last 
status looked like they could actually be on track for
5mil/day/server.
