Massive memory usage

RT Users
1

I’m running a few instances of RT on a Debian 5.0 box, Apache 2.2.9,
fastcgi 2.4.6, RT 3.8.2. I’m noticing the mason_handler.fcgi processes
are taking up quite a bit of memory. One RT instance’s processes are
using ~35 megs physical memory each, the other are using ~50-60 megs
each. Is there a known cause or fix for something like this? What
might I be able to do to track down the cause?

This is normal memory usage, not extraordinary usage. The working
set size of the RT cgi instance will depend on the usage to which
it is put, what queries and updates…
