Thanks. Next let's try upgrading apache. I notice some issues with non-exiting child processes, which seems weird and is probably what's resulting in the slowness. Should take a couple hours; I'll let you know when the upgrade is complete.

I don't know much about the config for the Inkscape server, but are you using Alternative PHP Cache along with PHP 5.1.4? I've managed to kill APC on really busy servers in such a way that the child processes never exit, eventually using up all of the MaxServers.

I don't think we're using that cache (how would you tell?), but we do have php 5.1.4 installed. I'll try upgrading it to 5.1.8.

Thanks, Bryce
