Hi all. I just set up a VAResearch server (VArServer 500). It's a PII400
1GB RAM, 9GB SCSI drive. It came pre-installed with RedHat 5.2, 2.0.36
kernel. I recompiled and installed a pretty bare 2.2.10 kernel. I'm
running apache 1.3.6 with most of the modules turned off (i'm only
serving static html pages - i'm using apache's mod_mmap_static module).
I've been doing some load testing using ZiffDavis's WebBench, running on
about 30 Windows workstations, each workstation generating about 100
child processes. 

I ran WebBench on the out-of-the-box config and got about a 3.6M/s
transfer rate (that's before I did the tweaks mentioned above). After
that i've been able to pull out around 5.8M/s. Some people above me (i'm
the lowly linux minion in my company) are pushing for a transfer rate of
near 10M/s. We are building a site with projected peak transfer of
41M/s. (i didn't come up with these numbers, so if they're crazy don't
yell at me). 

Is there any other perf tuning i can do to up these numbers?
