systemd RateLimitInterval Interaction with Apache2 Event MPM Burst Queueing
Background On Debian 12 running Apache 2.4 with the event MPM, burst traffic patterns trigger latency spikes that correlate with systemd service rate limiting rather than worker pool exhaustion. The RateLimitInterval and RateLimitBurst settings in the Apache systemd unit control how frequently the service manager restarts or signals the daemon, yet their eff
