Apache HTTP Server

Good day!

My question is - Is it normal that on a system with FreeBSD each Apache process consumes 400MB of memory?
And is it possible to somehow reduce his appetite?

apache config

# ps aux | grep httpd
www    64457  3.7  0.5 392552 61684  ??  S    12:15PM   0:30.89 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DNOHTTPACCEPT
www    64448  2.7  0.5 392424 64940  ??  S    12:13PM   0:26.99 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DNOHTTPACCEPT
www    64499  2.3  0.5 391912 57036  ??  S    12:24PM   0:05.09 /usr/local/sbin/httpd -DNOHTTPACCEPT

Are you sure that each process consumes 400 megabytes? As far as I remember, most of the memory for these processes is shared, so the total consumption != the consumption of each process * their number.
On the other hand, 400 meters is a lot. You should tinker with the settings or install Nginx.

You need to look one column to the right than you are looking at now. Those. each process takes up ~60MB of RAM
