[wplug] Apache/Mysql performance question ...

[Chris]

We have a RH 7.3 box that isn't doing much but host a few websites.
These sites are very dynamic and are doing a log of queries via PHP, but
the stats below seem a little high.  Does apache or MySQL usually take
up about 10M of RAM per connection/child?  I know that I haven't given
that much info but does something look wrong or is this typical?
