That's usually bad news on a webserver -- if the working set gets too
large for ram and apache gets swapped out, your downloading clients
timeout. What the kernel thinks is fair isn't a good strategy with
network services.

Trim maxclients (even if aapche complains a bit) and maxfreemem to
rein in apache memory usage. ps_mem.py is your friend...

cheers,
