On my box it runs with an average 70 auth requests and 130 in peaks.

It depends mainly on the hardware you have. On my server I run it
with global max-requests 512,  max-processes 16; Auth section has
max-requests 256.

Both depend heavily on the complexity of your configuration, the
hardware capacity and its load average.

Are you using some *very* old version? This parameter has long since
been gone.

request-cleanup-delay has little impact on the speed. Besides, notice
that you cannot freely modify it, as it depends on your NAS settings. This
subject has been discussed plentily on the list, see for example:
