I used webmin on a base ubuntu server, with required packages; Apache, php, etc..
My resource usage on apache alone is 30%-40% more than without webmin.....maybe I am alone but I didn't like it....doesn't seem like a lot but when you have a lot of users it adds up.
Just my opinion.
My percentages are figured as follows:
(apache alone= 18M, apache with webmin=23M)
Ah, but that doesn't make any sense.
Webmin doesn't use Apache for anything. It has zero relationship with Apache, aside from being able to manage it.
I'm not sure why your Apache process grew, but it wasn't because of Webmin (it may have been because of dependencies in the Webmin package you used...but our Webmin packages do not include any outside dependencies). Webmin has its own micro-webserver called miniserv.pl, which is wholly independent of the services it manages (and it has to be, in order to manage services at the level and to the degree that Webmin is capable of doing).
So, as I mentioned, Webmin does require about 10MB of RAM to operate. But, it does not require Apache and it doesn't make the Apache process larger or less efficient.
We'll happily take the blame when we do bad things (ask anybody who's rightly blamed us of breaking things), but this one is definitely not on us. And, I've already fessed up to the fact that Virtualmin can be a memory hog, by default, and it takes a little bit of tweaking to shrink it down.
