I've tweaked Apache/Mysql to run in a lower memory footprint, but this causes performance degradation at times.

We probably will end up having to switch to an asynchronous web server with FastCGI to lower the memory footprint but keep up performance.

Thanks for the input.

I set up nginx to handle static requests and I'm going to see if that helps. Thanks.

And we're now using fastcgi for everything. Let's hope it helps :).
