Risking sounding like an ass, I'm not sure what your looking for. Your server is handling less than 26,000 hits a day, has no load, and is only using 1/3 the memory in the system. In another response you said the server response is good. It doesn't seem like the server even knows its on let alone stressing to handle requests. Back in the day (about 3 years ago) I had a single PentiumPro 200 with 96M RAM (and multiple disks) handling about 500,000 hits (not to include graphics) and pushing about 10gig of data (not to include graphics) a day. Each page ran 2 server side includes for page header and footer generation. Apache was configured to run 265 concurrent servers which it hit by 10am (have you configured enough servers for yours??). When I left that office the server was just feeling the stress due to the small amount of RAM. You server should have a long way to go before you need to do some serious optimization. Make sure your kernel is optimized for the servers purpose and make sure the apache configuration is clean. I probably didn't help so I'll go now.
