[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk performance tuning for deployments with 1000+ hosts

I've increase timeout settings:

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:Timeout 600
/etc/httpd/conf.d/zz-spacewalk-www.conf:ProxyTimeout 600
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300

/etc/tomcat6/server.xml:    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="200000" redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
address="127.0.0.1" maxThreads="1024"/>
/etc/tomcat6/web.xml:        <session-timeout>30</session-timeout>

But above is not enough.
