Size of the children grows over time so we need to recycle them using MaxRequestsPerChild. But the question is why apache2/php5 on lenny uses 2-3 times more memory than on etch? After upgrade from etch to lenny we had to double the memory on this server to handle the same number of request. -- Valentin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
