  Assuming it isn't a bug of some kind, you have to be careful
  with filters, especially if there are large POST payloads being
  transmitted.

  How many requests are you serving per second? Also, you should
  check whether you are still logging debug info, there is a *lot*
  of logging going on. That alone could bring your web server down
  to a crawl.

  To turn off debug logging simply comment the "SecFilterDebugLog"
  and "SecFilterDebugLevel" directives.

  Why don't you send me your configuration to my email address (or
  even better, to mod-security-users () lists sourceforge net) and we
  will take it from there?

Bye,
