Hi all, On x86_64 I noticed that perl .so files (XS modules) appear to use a lot more memory than they do on 32-bit architectures.
In particular, /proc/$$/smaps reports a ~ 2MB segment associated with the .so library that is not reported in the 32-bit case. For more details, see my posting to the Centos mailing list: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2011-April/109530.html My questions are: - Does this represent real (physical) memory usage? - Apache2::SizeLimit seems to be including these segments in its size calculation. Is there a way to have Apache2::SizeLimit ignore them? Thanks, ER
