Thanks for the help. I do preload almost all the modules in the startup.pl file. Here it is
This looks okay to me. I have sometimes seen behavior like what you're
experiencing on specific machines and not on others, while running
identical code. I never quite got to the bottom of it, but I assumed it
had something to do with the kernel versions, or with the way top was
reporting memory. Can you try this on another machine?
I can't try the exact setup on another machine quickly. But, I looked at the output from top on two other machines that have the same httpd.conf and startup.pl, but different versions of the kernel, mp2, apreq2, and hardware.
I'm seeing similar behavior on all three, though it is worst on the two systems with the same kernel. The two with linux 2.6.10-1.12_FC2smp both have about 4M shared. One with linux 2.6.8-1.521smp has 14M shared, still not as much as I would expect.
The main difference between the 4M systems is that one is using mp 1.99_21 and the other mp 1.99_17. The 14M is using mp 1.99_17.
What do y'all think would be my most fruitful next step, besides testing out a new machine? Should I switch to static mp2? Non-threaded perl? Eliminating perl modules to see if there is one causing the problem? Prayer?
Take care,
