Well, here's the proof that Wowza kicks ass. Just peaked bandwidth at 500mbs, which is pretty much pure Wowza streaming - apache is dissing up only ~10mbs.
Wowza is consuming only 1.2GB of ram to do this, and the server is barely breaking sweat.
some pics for the geeks...

We have wowza servers running almost double what you are managing, 100% live streaming. (up to the capacity of the switch)
Wowza is absolutely stable. You just have to know how to use it. Once you get your settings fine tuned you can run thousands of similtaneous connections on one reasonable spec server.
