[rt-users] RT Runs VERY Slowly...

[Stevo]

Hey Guys,

Another question... this time about performance.  My RT box runs SLOW all
the time and I know this might be an Apache tweaking problem but I was
hoping someone might have an idea on how to tweak Apache to run better for
RT.

RT is the only app I run on this box and the box is a Dual Proc (CPU is
pretty idle) with 512MB RAM and slowly but surely all the RAM gets eaten up
and RT just crawls... below is the output from top about 5 minutes after
restarting apache - you can see that 411MB are already used up... and over
that that number will just increase and increase!

Can anyone throw me a bone here?
