Apache 2.2 -- how to allow more connections

I have a server algebra.com where I serve a lot of generated
content using mod_perl. My settings are

<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 5
MinSpareServers 7
MaxSpareServers 18
MaxClients 40
MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
</IfModule>

What happens sometimes is that I have all 25 servers stuck serving
data to slow clients, thus more clients cannot connect.

What I would like is to allow more concurrent connections per server,
although with only ONE page generation going on at any given time --
but the generated content could be served afterwards concurrently.

Is that possible? What settings should I set? I am using linux and
apache 2.2.

thanks

i

Just For Your Information. I found the answer.

The real answer to this question, for busy sites, is called
"perlbal".
