You would have a similar memory footprint running apache/mod_wsgi.
Mind you I am also running Ruby (mod_passenger) as well as mod_wsgi,
so the memory usage is a "tiny" bit higher because of the extra ruby
processes.

Notice, wsgi:web2py only takes 3.9 % memory, which calculates out to
19.968 MB of RAM on a 512 MB ram VPS.
