This doesn't seem to be very effective on my test system (apache2-mpm-prefork 2.2.14-5ubuntu8.4) regarding memory usage triggering the oom-killer. Memory seems to be (almost?) stable, but apache cpu usage is through the roof, with the client barely consuming any cpu. The moment you kill the client, the apache server is back ok. I'll let it run for another hour or so, to see that this actually gets somewhere or not. Are the actual memory increments really small and/or slow ? Or isn't this supposed to work with the apache2-mpm-prefork model, but only with the worker-model ?
