apache threads

[Manuela.Vorazzo@xxxxxx]

Is there a way (a command!) to display
apache threads while it is  running.
I'd like to know how many threads are
only for SSL connections?
I've no MaxThreads directive in my httpd.conf
and neither in my ssl.conf.
So I think the default is 2048 but....this
means 1024 threads for connections on port 80 and 1024 threads for connection
on port 443.

I'm a problem in these days with apache
I've some pages with a lot of images.
When my system  is busy very for
a lot of workload we have notice that the number of seconds for serving
an images in https is very high and the server become very slow while we
have no the same problem in http.

I'm thinking about a misconfiguration
in my ssl.conf. I've crypto hardware accelerator.................

Please let me know

Thanks in advance

manuciao
