in your Apache configuration, which value do you have set for "MaxRequestsPerChild"? If it is 0, set it to 200, for example. It means that Apache recycles the child processes after 200 requests, replacing them with fresh ones which do not occupy additional memory yet.
Hi Martin, it's set to 10000 which seems to be a default value, I will adjust this. In general your hint lead me to a lot of parameters regarding apache's child processes and memory usage. Now I'm on the right path :) Thanks a lot !
