Are you talking about real memory or virtual memory? How much of each
do you have? And is it PHP and/or MySQL using the memory or something
else? Is this average or peak?

What are you doing in your scripts which might be memory intensive? I.e.
are you using large arrays? Graphic manipulation? Reading large files
into memory? Something else?

I regularly run 75%+ of real memory on my VPS's and they runs fine. But
I also have the systems tuned to run that way.
