BIG Problem

Well, my site is getting about 15k uniques / day now and things are becoming SLOW. Really slow. I don't know if it's because of a lack of bandwidth or because of my configuration. What do you recommend for MaxClients MaxChilds in Apache config? Any ideas?

Thanks.

EDIT: I don't think it's bandwidth. After 5 mins of restarting apache check this out:

1:36am up 11:16, 1 user, load average: 0.11, 0.32, 0.17
178 processes: 176 sleeping, 1 running, 1 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.3% user, 1.9% system, 0.0% nice, 97.6% idle
Mem: 239404K av, 216760K used, 22644K free, 48K shrd, 4152K buff
Swap: 1052248K av, 18988K used, 1033260K free 106544K cached

It ate the memory so damn fast.

I have
MinSpareServers 20
MaxSpareServers 50
StartServers 50
MaxClients 256
MaxRequestsPerChild 50

mod_gzip is not on. I'm using Apache 1.3.26

Server specs: Athlon XP 1800, 256MB Ram

How can I get a 15k uniques / day site running on this server?
