[pLog-svn] Process size

[Oscar Renalias]

In addition to all I said before, why do you allow up to 32mb to each
Apache project? I think that's too much, nowadays 8-12mb should be a
more reasonable figure. If there's memory leaks somewhere in PHP (not
in our code, remember that there's no way to explicitely deallocate an
object in PHP code as far as I know), 32mb isn't exactly going to
help...
