Hello Perrin,

Umm, maybe we are talking about different things.  If I run my
application with 500+ httpd's in the process list using prefork, it uses
a lot more memory than running 10 httpds with 64 threads each using
worker.  It also gets worse over time (as shared pages get altered).

Did I miss something or did I do something wrong?
