memory usage in apache2 on debian 32 and 64bits

[Luis Cañas Díaz <lcanas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I've been this afternoon having a look at one of my servers and I'm
having many problems with the memory usage.

        uno:/etc/apache2# ps ax|grep apache2|awk '{ print $1 }'|xargs
        pmap|grep total
         total            99416K
         total           128292K
         total           126864K
         total           128384K
        ..

Every apache process is using more than 100MB. I have another server
with a similar configuration which runs a Debian 32bits and

        dos:/home/lcanas# ps ax | grep apache2 |awk '{ print $1 }'|xargs
        pmap|grep total
         total    19116K
         total    45772K
         total    37076K
         total    38808K
        ..

I've seen in a Debian 64 bits that a apache runs every process with more
than 100MB. This is a pain in the neck to obtain a big number of
processes waiting for a connection.


Do I have another solution different to buy more memory?

Thanks,
	Luis.
