I have 512Mb of RAM, and apache is not even getting close to using that on the light load which I have at present. Apache::VMonitor says it's more like ~350Mb total, or approx. 96.4M real size (-shared). I did experience some use of swap a few weeks ago, when my server was slashdotted (I somewhat innocently posted a link up there to an article I wrote about stopping spambots... - see http://www.neilgunton.com/spambot_trap/ if you're interested...). The ensuing deluge of requests on my server is what prompted this quest for a more efficient use of memory. The server was fine, but I could see that more memory sharing would be a Good Thing. On that one day when the article went on the front page of slashdot.org, over 21,000 people accessed the document...
