Satchmo is a pretty large codebase, with lots of dependencies, so it is definitely possible that it will take up a lot of ram. That said, your deployment method can have a lot to do with how much ram you are using. You mention httpd, so I'm guessing you are using CentOS or RHEL, with apache and probably mod_python. Is that the case? There are much better options for ram usage than that.
So, what is your current deployment setup?
