Is there any solution for running these kind of operations on DreamHost or other shared hosting environments where I don't have access to tweak apache?

You certainly can, but as long as Apache HTTP server doesn't provide non-blocking IO capabilities (and each polling connection has a server thread associated to it), you'll be running out of memory very fast (after 2-3k connections).
If you meant Apache Tomcat, NIO is turned off by default, and you need to have access to configuration files in order to change this.
