Memory leak issue, possibly because PHP APC add on.

I noticed that when I enabled APC it spawn so many apache process and it can consume memory really quickly. Our client server crashed twice because it ran out of memory.

Setup:
Linux CentOS 7
MariaDB
Apache 2.2
php 5.4.16 with APC
enabled JSMIN.
CPU : 4 cores
RAM : 12 GB

When I disabled the APC add on I didn't have that many apache processes being spawned and the RAM is hardly go beyond 3GB. I was doing a mass update that update the Account record and ALL of its related records, this is a massive operations but it didn't go beyond 3GB in terms of memory use when I have the APC disabled.

When I turned it on it was easily jumped from 2 GB to 6 GB.
is there a known issues with APC add on that you guys are aware off?

  • Hi Alex,
    I am glad and not so glad to hear that. I thought I am the only one having this issue.
    Although on that bug report, it says it reported on version 7.5.2.1 while our customer is on 7.5.1.0 does it matter?
  • Hi Alex,
    Do you have any ETA at this point? Our customer is really frustrated with this issue and it's really affecting their business. How come this issue doesn't happen in the ondemand server? I say doesn't happen because according to our customer he never experienced this issue before.
