IIRC in those days there was no Oracle HTTP server and everything was implemented using Apache. You should have httpd processes running, you should have an Apache directory somewhere. There is a httpd.conf. I am quite positive Jserv is being started using Apache. I also know here this a startJserv somewhere and a separate Jserv.conf. Don't know however wihether it will allow you to set a memory parameter. You will find Apache in 6i is pretty old (probably 1.3.2) and you will have difficulty finding Apache doco.
