Hi,

I saw many posts from google regarding to this question, but there
were no definite answers..

some say, it's mod_ssl, some say it's mod_perl, some say it is mm. But
my case, it just doesn't make much sence to me at all.

Here are the 2 test machines that I have, both have the exact same configur=
ation

A is a lot more powerful than B

machine A, p4 3.0 2GB Mem
machine B, p2 450Mhz 128MB Mem

Both have mod_php, mod_ssl, and no traffic has been sent.

Looking at the httpd sizes, I start to wonder ... How come Machine B
only uses around 15Mb per httpd, while machine A takes 155Mb, and
while they have exactly the same software, same configuration.

Can somebody please tell me why this is happening? What did I do wrong?
