Unnecessary Apache modules

apache-2.2

I'm attempting to configure apache to use a bit less memory. I'm wondering what you would consider to be either "heavy memory users" or just totally unnecessary when it comes to the loaded modules. I don't want to do anything yet, but so far I've commented out:

mod_status
mod_info
mod_userdir
mod_cern_meta
mod_asis

I'd love to get apache to run even lighter. Any recommendations? Sample conf files? Thanks!

Unnecessary is in the eye of the beholder, but the --disable rules in my compile of Apache 2.2 are:

include
filter
charset-lite
negotiation
asis
userdir
env
setenvif
status
autoindex

in addition to the modules that are off by default, and also the auth stuff as I do that entirely through scripts.
