My server gets around 2000 hits per day, and the httpd's are between 15 and 17M. To keep memory consumption to a minimum though, I follow the recommended configuration of running a reverse proxy in front of my heavy-weight mod_perl Apache. In this configuration, I have squid handle about 10 requests per single request that hits my mod_perl server, freeing up memory and CPU on both my Apache and database servers, while increasing percieved performance.On Sat, Dec 14, 2002 at 04:50:25AM +0100, Axel Andersson wrote:Hi everyone,
I would like to ask you how big your mod_perl enabled (v1) httpd's grow. I'm using a homegrown publication system based on Template Toolkit that delivers about 2000 Perl pages daily. After the first page load, the daemons consume around 7 MB of RAM each, but after 24 hours they've grown to something around 12 MB, with a record-holder of 16 MB.
To me this seems like quite a lot, but I would like to get some numbers from other people as to what's normal.
AFAIK, Mandrake's stock Apache comes configured to do this quite well.
