Hi John, It's funny you should mention this; this is something I've been fighting on my mailserver for a few weeks. On my server (OpenBSD 3.6-STABLE, PHP 4.4.0), once the session files get to about 1MB Apache starts eating RAM like candy. I can easily let it go until I have httpd processes eating 50-65MB of RAM each. When this happens, the web interface slows to a crawl for all users. In my case, logging out and back in isn't sufficient, unless I let the children httpd processes all die. If I log out, bounce Apache, and log back it everything returns to normal, with the httpd processes eating about 20MB per child (normal). I'd _love_ to get this fixed; since I'm not completely up-to-date on my OpenBSD (and hence Apache) version, I hadn't said anything and have just been keeping an eye on my session files. Thoughts?
