Thanks for all the great replies everyone! I appreciate it.

Thanks alot for this idea! I compiled apache with the worker MPM, set StartServers to 1 and ThreadsPerChild to 64. The result? My shared memory hit counter works perfectly and clocks about 50 hits/sec on my 800 Mhz, which, according to my rough hand benchmarks, is actually a little faster than using prefork with StartServers at 5!
