That's common on web servers because clients routinely interrupt
their browser mid-transfer. It shouldnt be a problem for if you
have enough NMBCLUSTERS in your kernel. If netstat -m displays
greater than "75% in use", you dont. 

Networking code in -STABLE is second to none. I seriously doubt
you need to tweak anything beyond the NMBCLUSTERS. TIME_WAIT is
a feature.
