Apache is sucking up a very large amount of memory.  You've got 6 of 
them trying to run there, each of them has allocated (and touched) over 
130MB each.  Figure out why Apache is using so much memory, or add 
another 512MB of memory to the machine, and that should fix your problem.

The memory usage of mythbackend and frontend look normal to me.
