I'm looking to migrate a lot of our customers to cPanel if it's the right fit. I have a few questions first, I'll start with my first question.
Wordpress is NOTORIOUS for taking 50MB+ per httpd process (look at "top" in linux), but on a system we have running cPanel it's only consuming 4-7MB per process. I'm a very experienced sysadmin with Wordpress and have never seen this achieved before. Is cPanel using an ultra lightweight / trimmed down version of Apache? How are the processes so small?
Lastly, where do I tune apache in cPanel, I notice in the httpd.conf file it says my changes will be overwritten.
Thanks for your help, this has been the most impressive thing I've seen! Here are comparisons to show you the resource utilization from a regular apache install (and tuned) with a default Wordpress site, versus the cPanel install.
Typical httpd memory usage (65+ MB / process)

cPanel httpd memory usage (around 6MB / process)
