My Apache 2.2 instances are running about 18 Meg each. I've been

I've done a bit of research on this. I think the way to get started is
to eliminate unused modules. Problem is, I know which ones I need, since
There is another thing you can try. Judging from the process size you've
given it looks like you are not using PHP or a similar Apache module.
Also, you didn't specify anything so I assume you are using the default
configuration, which operates in "prefork" mode - MPM_PREFORK, which
means a separate process is forked for every request.
If all of this is true, you can trivially switch to the worker-threaded
MPM in which every Apache process (which will be of comparable size to
the one you currently have) will handle a large number of request. In
effect, instead of e.g. 50 Apache processes active for 50 connections,
you will have 2-3 Apache processes.
Enable WITH_MPM=worker in /etc/make.conf to enable this.
