Apache 2 very slow when there is a load

Virtualmin

Although the apache 2 server is busy the cpu load is not high.
The response is slow and I see these errors in the apache log file.

I try these values in my apache2.conf file and although performance improved it was still slow.

EnableSendfile Off
EnableMMAP Off

These values appear in my log

Howdy,

Is it the application you’re website is using that’s slow?

Or is it everything being served by Apache?

For example, if you make a file named “test.php”, try putting this in it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

After doing that, does test.php load quickly? Or is it slow too?

The application also interfaces with a remote postgresql database. There are no errors when there is no load.
