I believe php.ini is read by the suPHP executable rather than Apache, so 
for there to be a similar file for LC Server the LC Server engine would 
need to expect such a thing.

If my understanding is correct, unless there's some spec for an ini file 
for LC Server that I haven't come across, CGI memory allocation would 
need to be adjusted at the root level, perhaps with the suEXEC settings, 
but those aren't normally the sort of thing that a host provides to 
shared accounts.

But then again, I could be wrong.

Please keep us posted with what you find.

I've been pondering the memory implications of multiple CGI instances on 
shared hosts, so this topic is of keen interest to me.
