I've been testing for memory leaks all week, using very large trees
(the 340meg mozilla tree, with 42,000 smallish files), and I can't
*ever* make httpd grow large.

When I do an import of the mozilla tree, or a checkout, update,
commit... httpd always stays at a tiny 10 megs or less. We found some
*client* memory leaks (which are now fixed in svn 0.32), but never a
server-side leak.

So I'm completely at a loss to to understand why you're seeing these
huge httpd memory sizes. The only difference is that your apache is
running on win32, and mine on Linux.
