Comment 1 for bug 1479830

The other impact of no limit is that if you do something like:

/v1/resources/instance?history=true

when there are lots of instances and lots of history you can very easily create a very large httpd process. I currently have two which are over 5GB. Python won't give this back to the OS so it would be useful to document that mod_wsgi installation should set some parameters so that it restarts itself: https://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGIDaemonProcess
