RE: Size

[Michael Stevens]

In our 
setup... (with many many modules loaded), the apache
processes are around 30-40mb. In cases where I've 
seen
apache 
get that big it's always been due to a bug or memory leak,
usually in my own code.

  Hello,
  
  I was wondering is this an unusual size? I know 
  the man says size will grow etc... but i am looking for others opinions based 
  on there setups and real life vs. text book comparison.

  It seems my modperl apache runs slower than my 
  regular apache could this be the reason?
  
  Thanks,
  John

That's likely to be a symptom, not a cause.  Can you be less vague
than runs slower?  Under mod_perl, your Perl scripts should run
faster than they do under plain Apache, if they don't then something
is wrong.  Could be the machine is swapping for example.  How much
RAM have you got?

That's not normal. Perhaps you have an old libapreq which did not handle
memory well--install the latest Apache::Request from CPAN and see if your
memory usage improves.

If not, we'll need more info: what is the size of the process when
started? ...what kinds of requests cause it to grow? ...how much does it
grow each time? ...what line causes the memory to jump, if any (step
through with Apache::DB watching memory use to test)?

Sources of memory problems include circular references and failure to
clean up resources between requests.
