Django Usual Memory Consume

Question

Is normal that an aplication that doesn't have a data base connection neither some extrange things consume nearky 15 Mb of memory?? Because what I've is that. A very simple aplication that is consuming 15Mb of memory.... Or my code is realy, realy, realy, bad or django consume is excesive..

PD: I serve media in static way. This is the consume:

25770 25770  1808 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/ S ?        00:00:00 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/bin/httpd.worker -f /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/conf/httpd.c
25771 25771  3468 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/ S ?        00:00:00 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/bin/httpd.worker -f /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/conf/httpd.c
25772 25772  3452 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/ S ?        00:00:00 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/bin/httpd.worker -f /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/conf/httpd.c
25773 25773 15600 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/ S ?        00:00:00 /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/bin/httpd.worker -f /home/aureasys/webapps/cda/apache2/conf/httpd.c

Here is consuming near 25Mb..... That's no good...

Answer 1

That is fairly normal behavior of Apache. Your application requires that you run your own Apache instance. So, even though it is not connecting to a database, Apache has to run at all times to listen for connections.

Serving static media from a static only application is a good start. We have instruction at the following url that will help limit memory usage for a Django application:

http://docs.webfaction.com/software/django/troubleshooting.html#reducing-memory-consumption

Answer 2

Yes, I've read and done almost everithing in that guide. So with a plan of 80 Mb limit I can have aprox 3 app...... It will be expenseive :) jeje

PD: what i can't do is to reduce the number of processes for app. I want to reduce to 2. This is my httpd.conf
