 * Hi all was wondering if anyone else is having this issue, when using ftps via
   wordpress dashboard to update/install plugins etc… the process appears to grab
   almost all memory possible and then takes forever to release the memory. Regular
   ftp works fine.
    using: php 5.3.16 apache 2.2.x centos 6.3 mysql 5.5.x

 * I also have the same issue. I destroyed my VPS and recreated it with a few different
   versions of CentOS: 5 32bit, 5 64 bit, 6 32 bit, 6 64bit.
 * This only happens for CentOS 6 (both 32bit and 64bit).
 * An Apache process is spawned and will sit there ramping up in both CPU and memory
   usage until the plugin is installed (or updated). Once the installed, the Apache
   process doesn’t die off. It no longer has a high CPU, but it keeps a lock on 
   the memory that it used when it was running.
 * For instance, I just installed tinymce, it finished fine, but there is still 
   an Apache process that is using up 41.8% of the memory. I have to manually kill
   the process or else I run the risk of running out of memory.
 * I believe this is a WordPress issue…
