It varies between 150 and 256 Apache processes. Our MaxClients is set to 256, which seems to work well. Their size varies from 240MB to 290MB depending on how long they've been running. Their resident set size (RSS) is usually between 7MB and 90MB each, though it seems to average about 60MB each (as shown in 'top' and 'ps'). The root Apache process has the same size as the others, but the RSS is only 1.2MB. > kern.ipc.shm_use_phys, kern.ipc.shmmax, etc are for System V shared > memory.

That would explain why they've not had any effect on this issue. :-) So, what's the best approach to limiting memory shared via fork() or reducing PV Entry usage by that memory? Is there something I can do with the kernel config or sysctl to accomplish this?
