[rt-users] Apache memory usage

[Wim Godden]

So there's no way to use RT without using the webmux or without using
mod_perl (through normal perl usage or something similar) ?
I need to run it on a production server. It doesn't matter if RT doesn't
run very fast, but I can't spare the extra resources at all.

I'm running it on RedHat Linux 6.2 with kernel 2.4.5, compiled with the
latest GCC.
