A wild idea just occured to me.  You guys are running Fedora/RHEL kernels
on the kernel.org boxes iirc, which have Ingo's 'tux' httpd accelerator.
It might not make the problem go away, but it could make it more
bearable under high load.   Or it might do absolutely squat depending
on the ratio of static/dynamic content.
