Why eats my Knoppix so much memory?

[Photonix]

Hi unknown,

unfortunately there are no indications for memory peaks while accessing the server (I observe top via SSH). Nor are there CPU-peaks. If there WERE peaks, they would be so short they wouldn´t bother...

Paradoxically sometimes the pages loads *** fast, in less than 1 sec. It's mainly when I access pages with more database-querys than html-words But that´s really seldom.

Maybe that´s a clue, maybe it´s purely apache which causes troubles.

Though I don't know...
