There are also a couple of TCP related parameters that might need to be
tuned as well:
  ip_local_port_range increase
  tcp_max_syn_backlog increase
  tcp_fin_timeout decrease

(well, all of them needs tuning if you are running with a high request
ratio like 100+)

You do not have to recompile the kernel for any of these tunings, not
even the inode/file ones. All are done dynamically thru the /proc/sys
interface.
