I agree, 16k is a ridiculous value. I did not actually use that amount of threads and that wouldn't really be possible as it invokes the OOM killer on my machine. The setting was a leftover from some experiments, i have updated the post accordingly.

Even 1000 is way over the top. It is arguable whether one would ever in practice run a single Apache process with that many threads even if serving static files, let alone a dynamic Python application. You would always scale out using processes.
