Comments on: Look at That 800 Pound Apache Hiding in the Corner http://www.temme.net/sander/2007/08/03/800-gb-apache/ Open Source, Apache, Apple, Cloud and maybe even some Crypto stuff Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:59:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: sander http://www.temme.net/sander/2007/08/03/800-gb-apache/comment-page-1/#comment-353 sander Sun, 05 Aug 2007 00:46:32 +0000 http://www.temme.net/sander/2007/08/03/800-gb-apache/#comment-353 While it makes sense to me to allocate a request-specific bucket brigade out of memory that is tied to that request, this particular patch won't do you any good because ptrans is itself a subpool of pchild. In any case, perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my original post: the server rapidly balloons to 800Mb and then stays there. It does not actually leak memory, although on a box that doesn't have the RAM to accomodate such an elephant this will end badly before it hits its comfort zone.
