Hi,
        
        I recently managed to get the RAM consumption of my server under
control. It had nothing to do with mod_perl ... the culprit was my ISP's
config script loading in *tons* of extra modules conditionally. Three
versions of mod_php + mod_python all helped to contribute to turn the
Apache children into 100 Meg monsters!
        
        So a quick: ps -aux | grep httpd, shows RAM closer to 20M:

root     29354  0.0  1.5 20064 16488 ?       S    13:48   0:02 /usr/sbin/httpd -
apache   30549  0.6  1.8 22128 18628 ?       S    14:27   0:00 [httpd]
apache   30561  1.2  1.9 23628 20240 ?       S    14:27   0:01 [httpd]
apache   30571  0.6  1.8 22056 18572 ?       S    14:28   0:00 [httpd]
apache   30578  0.8  1.7 21736 18284 ?       S    14:28   0:00 [httpd]

        Now I'm wondering how much more RAM I can save? Does anyone have a
really lean and mean mod_perl, Apache configuration ... if so, how big are
your Apache children?
