Very Computer

The OS is Solaris 2.6 (SPARC) and my Netra has 2 Go of memory.

Functionally, everything works without any issue.

Under heavy load (700 requests per second during 6 hours) I can see the
free memory rapidly decreasing (5 Mo per minute) down to 1,2 Go from
which it stops to decrease.
When I stop apache, the memory is not released.
I use the vmstat command.

I have tried different SSLsessioncache options but nothing has changed:
SSLsessioncache dbm:/path/to/datafile
SSLsessioncache none

I have reduced the MaxRequestsPerChild directive to 150 but there has
been no change.

I use prefork MPM.

What can I do to solve this issue?
Is it an apache or Solaris issue?
