What do you mean by 'very heavy web server'? Please be more specific.

- Do you expect many parallel connections? Default configuration
  allows for 512 child processes with apache, so you might want
  to set this higher during compilation (eg set to 1024).
- Does it make sense to separate static and dynamic requests?
  You might want to use separate servers(*) for static and
  dynamic requests, using a quick low-footprint webserver for
  static requests that allows for many parallel requests. Maybe
  lighttpd is all you need (ymmv)
- Make sure you don't run out of mbufs, open file descriptors etc.

(*) eg shttpd, lighttpd,...
