Let's calc: You've got 400 Megs. Say, 40 Megs are in use by the system. The remaining 360 Megs allow 360/20 = 18 requests coming in at the same time, and -boom- off goes the RAM.
This is because Apache when being armed with mod_perl pre-loads every perl script used. Ie., every instances carries a complete and whole OTRS installation and code with itself.
I agree with this, but... today each process started using 18M and are now up to 28M... number of processes is stable right now (42), but memory increases over time (+200M per hour). This only happens for the last 4 or 5 days, so I suspect a memory leak caused by some bad article/ticket/or something else. But there is no malloc/free on perl (correct me if I'm wrong), so no point of blaming otrs... or apache... or mysql ... or even me :P It's getting to a point where I need to restart apache every couple of hours :( Any hints on what to do next?
