That's interesting, thanks. But it makes me wonder:

	# make 'em wait
	sleep 5;
	return Apache2::Const::HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE;

This puts both the server process and the client to sleep for five seconds before returning. However, the server process is likely heavy-weight, whereas the client process is likely light-weight, and easily multi-threaded. So I'm wondering if this throttler, which seems to have worked fine for Fred, is viable in the general case.
