Are you sure that your problems still exist if you stop encrypting
everything?
I very much doubt people with highly loaded boxen put as much trust as
you do in those patches.
I have no similar story to tell alas. We don't run 2.4 on our loaded
servers and to be honest don't have anything like the load you seem to
generate anyway given that all Black Cat's machines do is basically
serve webpages, run small databases, do mail and run CGI.
My desktop box doesn't see a big load either and has been happy with
2.4.17 for some time now.
