Prestashop using a lot of virtual memory; "Excessive resource usage"

[kikbo]

I recently installed Prestashop on a new linux GoDaddy VDS. Every time someone visits my site, I get an email from ldf (from my CSF installation) saying that /usr/bin/php-cgi or /usr/sbin/httpd is exceeding 200 MB of virtual memory. To my knowledge, prestashop is the only php code I've got running on my VDS, that could be creating this issue.

 

My question for the forum is:

 

1) Is the fact that I'm routinely exceeding 200 MB of virtual memory having a negative impact on my site's speed? If not, what problems does it create, if any?

2) If routinely exceeding 200 MB of virtual memory is a problem, what can I do to fix it.

The Thing is prestashop Self does Not use that much 64~ mb

Apache Uses Most of it for MySQL, php, e-mail, DNS etc.

 

If you are useing any statmodule like awstats ASK your hoster to disable it

@sickz - thanks for your information.

 

@ilha - When I'm a little less busy, I'm going to do a serious investigation and I'll post the results of my findings here.
