Swap is active, but the size don't change a lot. (12Mb common time,
maybe 50Mb on rush time).

I will use vmstat 1 tomorrow (22:24 here, so too late)
Around 4/5 postgresql thread and around 20 apache thread with top.
With mod-status from apache, i get same information, 20 requests in
process, but only some in activity.

I hope :D.
Another question, i put on postgresql.conf a limited number of
postgresql max_connections, and use permanent link beetween apache and
postgresql. The problem is that a lot of apache thread is used for
sending data (gfx). Is there a way to say that some thread are only here
for php process ?
thx in advance,
