Well, I would say that if your problem is memory, you should consider
threads as they all share the same memory space in their process.
Apache's children can weight very heavy if PHP's been compiled to
support lots of extensions, you can happen with ~40/50Mb per process
which is very huge. Conside

Well, I can't answer precisely about kernel fork() implementation and
possible copy on write mechanisms. May vary across systems.
Someone here could answer I suppose.
'top' on httpd process with a prefork mpm gives each child process
memory as a whole XxxMb process, but I don't know what kind of m
