Need some help getting the most out of Apache

I have Googled around and configured various apache prefork and worker settings among other settings, and using 'ab' command to benchmark. For my wordpress blog, I get the following benchmark: But then for my semidynamic site (only a couple php scripts) I get For these I used the command My hardware is basically a quad core, 8 gb ram, and normal 7500 rpm scsi disk. Anything here look out of the ordinary? Can I improve the blog or the static serving somehow? Thanks.

Usually you can improve server performance by install php cache (like xcache, eaccelerator, apc), tune mysqld (try mysqltuner.pl) and optimize sql queries.

Try using caching with apache and there are modules available like, mod_expires and mod_headers. This kind of server side caching will increase your site's performance.
