Re: [rt-users] RT Apache memory leak. any examples of MPM settings?
It is not a memory leak, memory does not get returned to the system -- ever. So a large query can bloat the memory usage and it will not shrink. We use cron to do a graceful apache restart once a day. No impact to users and it handles the memory usage growth over time.

That's a good start. You might want to also look into your MySQL schema. There is a slight possibility that large DB queries are causing this issue. I forgot to ask, what RT version are you running?
