For some general advice on reducing memory usage when using Apache see my initial comments in: http://groups.google.com/group/pylons-discuss/browse_frm/thread/0b289e7ccb006448# The problem in your case is more to do with your TurboGears application taking a lot of memory. One can always reduce the foot print of the web server in various ways, with TG running in separate daemon using mod_wsgi, fastcgi or using its own server, but bringing down TG memory use is where it will matter.

Are they all distinct TG applications, or are you running two copies of one in the belief it is better to load balance between two copies of the one application? BTW, I wouldn't consider 256Mb being overly small, you just need to ensure Apache is configured right and host TG in appropriate way and you should have more than enough space left other. That you are using prefork Apache rather than worker doesn't help. The memory size of Apache also suggests you haven't gone through and trimmed out any Apache modules you don't need. In other words, you still have lots you could do with what you have, but your will need to learn a few things to know what is best to do.
