Hello to everyone.
I've got fallowing problem: Apache eat to many ram per child.
The fallowing comments shows:
cat /etc/redhat-release -- Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
free -m:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3566 3136 429 0 339 1907
-/+ buffers/cache: 889 2676
Swap: 4322 0 4322
I know that you will say that there is nothing to worry about because swap is not use, but i think it's not use for now.

I guess thats all information needed to help me solve this problem.
I think the virt memory is to big, the same res. The consumption of ram is increasing all the time. Maybe it's memory leak because i see there is so many static modules compiled.
Could someone help me with this issue? Thank you in advance.

as you can see the memory usage growing up from e.g. res( 135 to 145)m and it will be growing up till memory ends. Are you sure that this option i set up:
<IfModule prefork.c>
StartServers 8
MinSpareServers 5
MaxSpareServers 25
ServerLimit 80
MaxClients 80
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
</IfModule>
KeepAliveTimeout 6
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAlive On
are correct? Maybe i should decrease some of them?
Another questions that bother me: I got e.g. static module mod_negotiation.c compiled into apache and the same module loaded as dynamic. Is this normal that i've loaded duplicated module. But when i want to remove dynamic module(mod_negotiation.c) from httpd.conf and then restart apache error appears. Now I cant tell this error message because i cant restart apache :(
Hello again:)
This is memory usage just after restart apache:
