What's about database server ? Do you monitor long sql query ?

Are you sure images are bottleneck ? In any case, i'd recommend
frontend-backend architecture to let different servers do different jobs.
frontend - simple apache with mod_accel (mod_proxy) support, it's light
and fast and does only 2 things - serves images adn proxy dynamic requests
to fat backend server which generates pages. With proper setup of backend
(valid modification date and content-length returned) frontend even
could cache pages. we use mod_accel (http://www.sysoev.ru/en/)

mod_proxy setup described in apache documentation and you don't need touch gforge code.
