On my experience, is very important correct values for:

MaxClient -> 100 Ok (it's can be more)
MinSpareServers -> min free instances, sugest same of StartServers
MaxSpareServers -> max free instances, sugest more than 60% of MaxClients
MaxKeepAliveRequests -> never all instances, sugest 50% of MaxClient
MaxRequestPerChild -> max request before kill process, set if required...

Some time ago I had make a node Monitor instances of Apache Web server, with a script to see how are use of apache web connections online. To see historical usage, I'm sugest to use it or Apache-Tools (from Apache-Security).

Evaluating your load averages, swap and CPU states, on my opinion optimize apache make good results... See your running time of httpd process:

$ grep httpd 547234 | awk '{print $8}' | sort | uniq -c | head -n 5
    125 0:00
    110 0:01
     41 0:02
     14 0:03
      9 0:04

But the great info is "Parent Server Generation: XX" on server-status ... You realy need to enable this module ;)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
