Sorry I did miss this. What I have seen once or twice was a situation
where a slow response triggered clients to open an other connection
and sending the request again, resulting in more IO, slower responses
and more clients reconnecting. AFAIR there was a high load (many processes)
but not much CPU usage. But i think it was on a i586 system with only
4 GB ram.
