This is infact a strategy of some unixes. I don't recall if Linux or BSD does this. I know Irix does. What you can do is reduce the request (MaxRequestsPerChild) number for each daemon in your httpd.conf file. You can also twiddle with Max and MinSpareServeers and also try limiting MaxClients. Finally, based on the requests you are doing you could do some caching of the requests, or finding another way to do the requests. Shouldn't you also limit your record sets anyway? I mean, returning 4000 tuplets seems excessive... -- Paul K Egell-Johnsen Utvikler/PR Manager eZ systems as http://ez.no/
