I'm trying to cut down on the amount of memory that my apache
proceeses use, I've noticed that when I have the --with-mm option set
when I configure and compile PHP that the apache process goes up by
about 40MB or more on the process table:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 23102 0.0 2.5 54588 12972 ? S Dec11 0:13 /usr/sbin/httpd
nobody 11242 0.0 2.7 55040 14408 ? S Dec13 0:16 /usr/sbin/httpd
nobody 11244 0.0 2.7 55076 14216 ? S Dec13 0:16 /usr/sbin/httpd
....
I understand that not each process is using up that much ram, but I'd
still like to cut down the usage since without having --with-mm enabled
makes the processes more like this:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 29415 0.0 0.7 13988 5844 ? S Dec13 0:02 /usr/sbin/httpd
nobody 31719 0.0 0.7 14140 6096 ? S 04:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
nobody 31720 0.0 0.7 14140 6096 ? S 04:02 0:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
....
So my question is this. What is the --with-mm option for? The only
real documentation I can find about it anywhere is on the PHP site where
they have a complete list of configuration options:
----------------------------------------------------------
--with-mm[=DIR]
PHP 3: Option not available in PHP 3
PHP 4: Include mm support for session storage
----------------------------------------------------------
Well, that's not really helpful. Does this option affect how sessions
work under PHP? I think some of the users on my system have been using
sessions successfully without this option. Also, since this gets
compiled in the ext/sessions directory, would I be able to compile it as
a module that could be loaded into PHP at run time?
Any help would be appretiated. Thanks,
