Re: Is this startup.pl ok?

MaxRequestsPerChild is set to 200. What operating system? I'd be inclined to stuff a lot more of the generic modules you use (CGI, Template Toolkit, URI, Date modules) into startup.pl. The more the merrier. If a process starts at 10M and grows to 80M that's 70M per process, _unshared_ for sure. Not good. -- Dave Hodgkinson, http://www.hodgkinson.org Editor-in-chief, The Highway Star http://www.deep-purple.com Interim CTO, web server farms, technical strategy

I thought it was shared, because under top, SHARE was almost as big as RSS. -Philip Mak ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Before Stas starts laying into me for misleading inaccuracy, take a look at the guide: http://perl.apache.org/guide/ There's LOTS of good stuff in there on shareabiliy. If your processes start at 10M, then grow to 80M, that memory is probably _not_ shared. Unless you're mapping in some shared memory or something. -- Dave Hodgkinson, http://www.hodgkinson.org Editor-in-chief, The Highway Star http://www.deep-purple.com Interim CTO, web server farms, technical strategy
