[svlug] REPOST: Apache comes to a crawl...at decreasing intervals

[Rick Moen]

Jasmine --

mod_perl is the most immediately obvious suspect.  You might try
checking the output of "ps auxw | grep httpd" periodically, to see if
the processes' RAM consumption is gradually increasing until they choke
and die (which is what I suspect is happening).  You might even just
create a cron entry to run that and the date command every few hours,
and log the output to some file for later examination.
