I am running a traffic exchange site and have just moved to a dedicated
server (new server has been running 15 hours).

Server is a P4 1.8G with 1024MB RAM

Pages seem to be loading slower than the previous virtual server account but
looking at top shows idle% to stay above 80

The mysql backend is located off the server and has not changed in any way
when the web server changed.

Wusage reports show upto 10,000 hits an hour for the end of yesterday and up
to 18,000 hits a few hours ago. (these are the new server stats)

One thing that has me curious is apache is started with 150 servers (which I
am fine with) and currently I count 178 instances of apache running - but in
top all but a couple show their state as lockf which I can't find a
reference to.

Apart from apache there is sendmail and ssh running (and the basics such as
tty's, cron and syslog)

All pages are php.

Any ideas on how I can get response times up?
