Re: collecting pv entries -- suggest increasing PMAP_SHPGPERPROC

Raising PMAP_SHPGPERPROC works most of the time. You can also re-tune
your Apache setting to keep processes from constantly spawning and
dying. For example, set the max spare and min spare servers settings
higher, so Apache keeps more spare servers around instead of spawning
them on demand and killing them when the demand ends.

Another option is to upgrade to 7.X, which seems to have replaced the
mechanism by which this is done to be more dynamic and not have this
problem.

Since he has only this server as production, and does not like
re-compiling the kernel on it (and rebooting), the only option that's
sensible is retuning Apache and restart services (since an upgrade to
7.X would be even more involved than a kernel rebuild).

By the way, does anyone know whether there is any way to tune
PMAP_SHPGPERPROC using sysctl, or does such button/knob not exist?
