My site is fairly high traffic. about 20 gigs an hour. 60 requests a

better choice?
    

Worker would reduce memory usage.  But worker is more fussy than prefork
about working with shoddy software, and in particular anything that's not
thread-safe.  So if you use PHP (as I think you said before?) it's likely to 
crash.

  

OK - thanks for your help. I do use PHP and I don't want to crash. ;)

But - unless I keep MaxRequestsPerChild at no more than 10 the memory usage grows fast. Could I have a memory leak of some kind?
