Might want to bump this number in your kernel config:

maxusers        10

As I understand it doesn't limit the number of users, just hints to the 
kernel how big some tables need to be.

Others have suggested your DNS may be slow. Would probably help if you 
enabled DNS caching locally. Also search the Apache docs, you can speed 
Apache up by letting it log accesses by IP address and not by name, not 
sure what is the default in the FreeBSD port.

You are using SCSI HD's? You should.
