I, for one, and a bit baffled by Apache configuration for optimum performance. Most of the configuration is pretty self explanatory,like setting up SSL, deflation, configuring for CGI etc etc, but this threadsPerChild setting seems less obvious. The documentation talks about threads per child process. What is a child process? How does a child process differ froma CGI thread? Is there a formula for working out the best settings? You (Nathan) mention a threadsPerChild of 3000, which is a massive difference from 100 running on a very big box. There must be some detriment to setting it too high also?
Any Apache gurus out there?

And should the MaxCgiJobs increase accordingly?
The HTTP Server will use the value of ThreadsPerChild if it is higher than
MaxCgiJobs, according to documentation at the Information Center. If you set
ThreadsPerChild to 40, and MaxCgiJobs to 1, the HTTP server will start up to 40
cgi jobs according to demand.
