Well, you might consider running your http daemon as a daemon, not
started by inetd, performance-wise. Inet keeps track on how many
instances in a given time frame it may start. If there are more it just
stops serving them, for the sake of the machine... You can tune the
parameter, though, via a number of the allowed maximum instances, after
the {no}wait parameter, if memory serves. But there's always a man page.
