    <p>The <code class="directive">MaxRequestsPerThread</code> directive sets
    the limit on the number of requests that an individual server thread
    will handle. After <code class="directive">MaxRequestsPerThread</code>
    requests, the thread will die. If <code class="directive">MaxRequestsPerThread</code> is <code>0</code>, then the thread
    will never expire.</p>

    <p>Setting <code class="directive">MaxRequestsPerThread</code> to a
    non-zero limit has two beneficial effects:</p>

    <ul>
      <li>it limits the amount of memory that a thread can consume
      by (accidental) memory leakage;</li>

      <li>by giving threads a finite lifetime, it helps reduce
      the number of threads when the server load reduces.</li>
    </ul>

    <div class="note"><h3>Note:</h3>
      <p>For <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#keepalive">KeepAlive</a></code> requests, only
      the first request is counted towards this limit. In effect, it
      changes the behavior to limit the number of <em>connections</em>
      per thread.</p>
