Large Memory Sizes

[Mike Hodson]

Ok. I finally got mod_perl doing what I want it to do.
Except for one problem.  after anywhere from 10 minutes, to half an hour, on a
server with 768megs of ram, it starts eating swap.  

How can I keep the processes small and not growing to ungodly sizes (13 megs
per process, unsure of how much of that is shared)?
I've looked at different documentation, but the methods they give only slow
the use of swap, and the processes keep growing, yet slower..

Thanks in advance
Mike
