That really depends. If you only shove out static pages and have one or two or three odd cgis on the machine, you can flatten down the httpd binary quite a bit by throwing out unneeded modules.

500 to 750 clients shouldn't be that much of a problem then ...

Sure it depends ;-) I do serve dynamic pages but by removing the really unnecessary modules I made my httpds much faster (especially on pipelined image downloads) and they only have some 10 MB (RES) per worker.

But I would expect that they are running the default set of modules.
