Slow Upload Speed - How Do I Tweak It?

Hi

I experience slow upload speed when uploading large files from a browser. The speed is very slow when http2 is enabled - it is better with just http1.1 - but could still be better. Is there some tweaking I could to do to improve the speed?

Nextcloud version (eg, 20.0.5): 24.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 20.04): Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Apache or nginx version: Apache 2.4.41
PHP version (eg, 7.4): PHP 8.1.6

The output of your Apache/nginx/system log in /var/log/____:

For nginx, they added some hints in the documentation recently. Perhaps, you find a similar parameter for apache:

And if you speak about performances, it always good to specify some numbers. Recently someone complained about speed and was (for some parts at least) limited by the network connection speed (Improving the speed of my Nextcloud instance - #6 by bb77).
