High Control Panel (httpsd) Memory Usage

[BradH]

My Plesk 8.1 VPS is running four "httpsd" processes, and seems to be using a large amount of memory:

Shell command:

top -b -n 1 | grap -E "%MEM|httpsd"



  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND                                                            
 5623 root      15   0 36280 5360 3396 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.03 httpsd                                                             
 5627 psaadm    16   0 45236  32m  21m S  0.0  0.5   0:23.89 httpsd                                                             
 5950 psaadm    16   0 41504  26m  19m S  0.0  0.4   0:19.68 httpsd

Is it normal for Plesk to use this much memory?
Is there anything I can do to make it use less memory?

I would really like to know what the normal memory usage for Plesk is.

Can someone running Plesk 8 please run this shell command and post the results?

top -b -n 1 | grap -E "%MEM|httpsd"

 

[BradH]

Oops, that should be grep instead of grap:

top -b -n 1 | grep -E "%MEM|httpsd"

I rebooted my server and the memory use went way down:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
18033 root      16   0 36280 5360 3396 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.02 httpsd             
18037 psaadm    16   0 36280 2500  540 S  0.0  0.0   0:00.00 httpsd

Memory use went back up after I logged in to the control panel, AND logged out again:

   PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND            
18033 root      16   0 36280 5360 3396 S  0.0  0.1   0:00.02 httpsd             
18037 psaadm    16   0 41172  17m  11m S  0.0  0.3   0:00.77 httpsd             
19654 psaadm    16   0 42636  20m  12m S  0.0  0.3   0:01.14 httpsd

I would also like to know what the normal memory usage is for this...

Mine is a lot higher and I do not understand why, please shed some light on this subject. I can see no one has responded to the original poster.
