httpd and memory usage

[David Banning]

I seem to have a lot of memory being eaten by httpd (part output of top);

62310 nobody          18   0 26792K 21516K lockf    0:04  0.00%  0.00% httpd

62311 nobody           2   0 26740K 21432K select   0:03  0.00%  0.00% httpd
62764 nobody          18   0 26604K 21252K lockf    0:03  0.00%  0.00% httpd

62312 nobody          18   0 26636K 21292K lockf    0:03  0.00%  0.00% httpd

62313 nobody          18   0 26592K 21228K lockf    0:03  0.00%  0.00% httpd
62381 nobody          18   0 26768K 21404K lockf    0:03  0.00%  0.00% httpd
  287 root             2   0 13108K  7460K select   0:02  0.00%  0.00% httpd

I have changed the timeout in httpd.conf from 300 to 100 which does not
seem to help.

Any ideas to have httpd timeout sooner to preserve memory?
