I would hope that no matter how much Apache is threaded, it doesn't use a 'one thread per request' model. The cases where you honestly do require large numbers of threads (like 300 plus) are very rare. In every such case I've ever seen, it was theoretically possible to 'code your way out' of the need for that number of threads. The problem is that sometimes it's more effort than it's worth.
