Coping with higher traffic

Hi, SkunkWeb has been purring away happily serving several low-traffic
sites on my server, but I will soon be adding a temporary site that will
significantly bump up the traffic for a few weeks. 

Does anyone have any guidelines on whether SkunkWeb behind
Apache needs to be configured differently for higher load
situations? The obvious setting is numProcs in sw.conf, currently set
to 5.

Is that the key variable to deal with increased load? Are there any
diagnostics anyone would recommend to check whether limits are being
approached?

Many thanks,
