Hello,

In our experience with Apache and clients that do not use
Keep Alive (are short lived), 512 is also very low. It
causes listen queue overflows and leads to a very low
throughput.

Another place that we had to look at was the IP sw interrupt
queue length.

# IP sw interrupt queue len, default 50;
# check queue drops stats in net.inet.ip.intr_queue_drops
net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen=1000

Hope this helps
