    Apparently, the mysql client library loads the complete
    result set into the process space of the client.

    For example, bugstats.php used to bloat httpd processes up to
    20MB, because that script loads the complete bug database
    into memory.  After switching to mysql_unbuffered_query() no
    significant increase in RAM usage was noticed.
