1 thru 6: without mod_perl 7 thru 12: with mod_perl. Kinda takes you're breath (and ram) away.....

something is very wrong then. On linux I get:
Apache w/o modperl stas 8315 0.9 0.3 5792 2596 ? Ss 17:14 0:00 httpd stas 8317 0.0 0.3 5792 2700 ? S 17:14 0:00 httpd
Apache w/ modperl and Apache::Request(Rec|IO). stas 8362 0.3 0.6 9556 5248 ? Ss 17:15 0:00 httpd stas 8367 0.0 0.6 9556 5360 ? S 17:15 0:00 httpd
Apache w/ modperl and ModPerl::MethodLookup::preload_all_modules(); stas 8446 2.4 0.9 11464 7140 ? Ss 17:18 0:00 httpd stas 8447 0.0 0.9 11464 7252 ? S 17:18 0:00 httpd
Also remember that this build is full of debugging options enabled. The actual non-debug Apache w/ and w/o modperl should be much smaller.
Could it be a compile thingy that went wrong? But I'm not surprised - your Apache eats more than 3 times more RAM than here on linux (of course we didn't compare what Apache modules you and I have loaded, but still it's a *big* difference). So it's really your OS/compiler issue. There is no reason why Apache on its own should be so big.
