It seems like I've been plagued with memory usage issues most of the time I've been blogging (7 years). I upgraded my hosting to a HostGator VPS and still seem to have issues.

I have about a dozen WP 3.4.2 sites running within a single account. Each has a separate installation.

I finally installed TPC! Memory Usage within one of my WP installs to see what was going on. The memory usage just standing still is on the order of 40 MB.

This seems high, but I don't know. What would be a reasonable memory usage for these WP installs? Do I need to take other things into account, or am I even looking at it the right way?

If the question is specific to Wordpress then maybe the Wordpress site is better suited? wordpress.stackexchange.com – w3d Nov 26 '12 at 9:49
