I also found a threefold increase in the memory footprint of apache/mod_php/mod_perl when I switched from i386 to amd64. From what I've read this isn't unheard of on 64 bit linux/apache/php. Most other applications tend to be slightly larger on amd64. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
