If you know how DNS works you’d understand why it’s not a performance bump: All DNS lookups (even reverse lookups) are cached, and all OS do it locally. So for every unique IP it would only need to do the lookup once. After that the OS has the lookup cached in memory.

Also .htaccess is very useful and I don’t see on how some file lookups could justify disabling it. I can only see why that would make sense in extreme cases: eg if you’re hosting some kind of file server with a lot of traffic and no special per directory rewriting or acceess control or applications running on it.

If you’re really looking for conserving memory I would recommend turning KeepAlive off completly. Having it enabled gives clients the ability to lock your children and with a maximum ammount of children set, that’s a very bad idea unless you actually want people to time out. Turning it off worked great for me.

My server was regularly becoming totally unresponsive because Apache would go crazy and trigger memory pages swapping, but following your directives it seems that I have finally solved my problem. My memory usage has been divided by 3, and at the same time requests are being served much more rapidly.
