Hi to all,I already posted this question to stackoverflow.com but no answer after 9 days: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67439771/why-so-much-difference-in-memory-used-per-process-in-apache2-between-two-differeI hope the apache gurus in this list can help me :)I have a pair of Ubuntu dedicated servers...
Server1:
Ubuntu 16.04.7 (64 bits)
16GB RAM
8 Xeon CPU
Apache 2.4.18
MPM mode: prefork
Server2:
Ubuntu server 20.04.2 (64 bits)
32GB RAM
8 Xeon CPU
2.4.41
MPM mode: event
On Server1, each apache2 process uses between 7MB and 18MB of RAM ...# ps axo 'user rss cmd' | grep apache | grep -v "\(root\|grep\|tomcat\)"
www-data 18232 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 11700 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 11276 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 10792 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 11216 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 11600 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 10336 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 11356 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 11348 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 10980 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 11316 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 6808 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
On Server2, each apache2 process uses between 120MB and 130MB of RAM ...# ps axo 'user rss cmd' | grep apache | grep -v "\(root\|grep\|tomcat\)"
www-data 120436 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 119784 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 128720 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 130208 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
Why so much difference in memory used?
After read a few documentation and googleing, I thought about loaded modules, but there are not a lot of difference between each server...

I already changed MPM mode from Event to Prefork on Server2, with the same results.
What else can I check to understand this difference?Thank's!
