Need your help guys!

We have the script that decrypts the file and sends it to the user:

----------------------------------------------------

header("Pragma: cache");
header("Content-type: application/force-download"); 
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary"); 
header("Content-length: ".$this->getSize()); 
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$name."\"");

...

$bytes_number = 1024;

...

while ($bytes_already_read < $file_size) {

  $bytes = fread($file_handle, $bytes_number);

  for ($i=0; $i
But when I start a single download (~400 kb/sec) it freezes the server.
Apache starts eating 100% CPU.

What can you suggest?
