Once you load something like mod_python or mod_perl, it's not really "Apache
memory" that's your problem. Apache can be slimmed down to 8-32 MB
(depending on modules and config) fairly easily just by removing unwanted
cruft. Most mod_xxx programming stuff tend to cache alot of stuff in RAM.
Also, when saying "Apache memory" do you mean real memory or just the
virtual address space? When using a threaded mpm the virtual size of
each process can get rather big if each thread has a large stack, but
that doesn't necessarily mean that apache is a memory hog. However,
since the only way to reliably limit memory usage on Linux boxen are
to limit on the vmem size this might be what's biting you...
