Can you show us the output of following commands both before and after starting
apache:

vmstat
swapinfo
top

I ask because, I too am running apache and see the same large memory consumption
reported by SIZE (in top).  However, it's *not* caused me any problems, and even
with 60 processes all reporting 145MB (145MB x 60 = 8.7GB) I use no swap.
