Mine start at around 60MB, jump to 80MB when my app is initialised, and

Your question does not contain enough information. What is your basis
the 60MB, 80MB, 120MB, etc, numbers?
Might be showing off my lack of unix admin knowledge here but using
'top', it's the value of the 'virt' column - ie. the biggest possible
process size if the whole thing was resident. I've been using it to
work out how many clients I should limit apache to, but looking at it
the 'res' figure never seems to get anywhere near the 'virt' figure.
Time to rewrite my assumptions I think!
