High PHP5 memory usage

Maintenance

I’m seeing high memory usage of PHP5 with a default installation. Can anyone confirm if this is normal behaviour?

Default installation without current activity on webservices:

$ ps aux | grep php
root 7603 0.0 2.7 360268 28084 ? Ss Jul08 0:03 php-fpm: master process (/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf)
www-data 7606 0.0 0.7 360268 8024 ? S Jul08 0:00 php-fpm: pool www
www-data 7607 0.0 0.7 360268 8024 ? S Jul08 0:00 php-fpm: pool www

So 351M for the master process. Seems you have more processes drawing more resources? Perhaps you have some other websites running on the same server?

Thanks for the comparison. I run a simple setup for my family with no other websites running than a default .html page showing some info on one of the domains as is possible with MiaB.

I found that mailinabox sets the max_children from 5 to 8. Although I highly doubt that this is the reason I’ve set it to the default 5. Lets see what this does until the next update.
