Well, that's why we have this really nice long huge extensive and 
detailed documentation on mod_perl performance.  usually you don't want 
mod_perl talking to your clients directly -- you want a proxy in front 
of it.  i rarely have more than 7 or 9 mod_perl processes while the 
front end proxy could be handling upwards of 100 clients (not that this 
is on my RT installation, but it could be).  Especially true when 
you're serving up images...
