Your problem probably will be not enough of RAM.
You need fast harddisk too.
I have 3GB of RAM, 15000RPM Ultra320 SCSI harddisk for about 10000 targets.

Linux uses RAM for harddisk cache. With more RAM you can run more forks.
For speeding up 14all.cgi helps modperl in Apache and split config file
to more configs (for example one config for one hostname) and access with
14all.cgi only one config file.
