I installed and configured Apache Mobile Filter module for Apache to redirect users to mobile version of our website, depending on their user agents. I configured the module to use WURFL.

But as soon as I start Apache it hogs a large amount of memory (without any in-coming web requests):

Resident Memory: 300 to 400 MB Virtual Memory: 300 to 650 MB

Without this module, Apache was consuming much lesser memory (4 to 10 MB).

What could be the reason here?
