[imp] Memory Usage

[robert sand]

It would be interesting to see how much of the memory used below is actually 
shared memory.  Do a pmap -x pid on one of the httpd processes at the end of the 
report you will see a total in kbytes of memory usage.  The second number is the 
total amount of memory used by that process and the 3rd is the amount of that 
total that is in shared libraries.  If you are not using shared libraries the 
third number will be very low to nothing.  This is bad.  A recompile of the 
software to use shared libraries would be needed.
