I would recommend looking at this as well. Not sure if you already have a serverlimit in place.

 

Btw, what IS your max clients?

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

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?
