I am optimizing my VPS where I unfortunately have to run ROR under passenger. I've set it up so that it shutdown all application instances after 1 minute idle time, but there is still substancial amount of memory consumed by the following parts, which are running forever:

23716 www-data  20   0 75300  60m 2384 S    0 15.2   0:03.15 ruby1.8
23712 root      20   0 30584  19m 2424 S    0  4.8   0:01.20 ruby1.8
23675 root      20   0 15872 6340 1572 S    0  1.6   0:00.47 ruby1.8
23678 nobody    20   0 10476 3036 2484 S    0  0.7   0:00.00 PassengerLoggin
23673 root      20   0 14172 1964 1728 S    0  0.5   0:00.02 PassengerHelper
23670 root      20   0  5328 1604 1420 S    0  0.4   0:00.00 PassengerWatchd

Any suggestions on what can I do with them? ROR is rarely used, but due to these idle processes it eats like 25% of VPS RAM :-(

PS. I've already switched to Enterprise edition of ruby to try to reduce memory consumption....

PassengerPoolIdleTime 300
RailsFrameworkSpawnerIdleTime 1800
RailsAppSpawnerIdleTime 600

By default Passenger is using the above values. You can add those lines into the passenger part of your Apache conf and try tweaking the values.
