Ehcp Server/Memory usage

Below some memory usage info,
note that ehcp core daemon has about 40Mb only.
Mosth other memory usage is due to apache, dns, mail, etc…
Also note that, some memory usage on top command is used bu system cache..
sysinfo in ehcp gui shows that cache separately, so, that is more accurate..
test output is attached as file too, for easy viewing..
