Now that I'm at the tail end of my current project (not necessarily the best time to tackle
this issue I know) I'm looking at my httpd processes using top:

PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE 16970 httpd 0.0% 0:00.01 1 9 247 108K 17.5M 1.32M 60.1M 16961 httpd 0.0% 0:00.00 1 9 247 108K 17.5M 1.30M 60.1M 16960 httpd 0.0% 0:00.01 1 9 247 108K 17.5M 1.30M 60.1M 16959 httpd 0.0% 0:00.69 1 9 256 1.64M 17.4M 6.24M 61.1M 16958 httpd 0.0% 0:01.07 1 9 278 2.33M 17.4M 7.64M 61.1M 16957 httpd 0.0% 0:01.23 1 9 291 3.96M 17.7M 13.0M 63.5M 13220 httpd 0.0% 0:28.69 1 9 247 32K 17.5M 11.6M 60.1M

It gives a selection of used and non-used children (as well as root 13220.)

Are they memory intensive?  I know it depends on the CPU, RAM, etc...
But what is big nowa days?  Am I looking at this with the wrong tool?

Basically I'm looking for pointers on how to tighten things up. I'm hoping to use this in a production environment and need to know when I need to scale
things up.

I'm a novice when it comes to memory management, sorry.  So as much
as as anyone can provide is much appreciated.

Thanks,
