Makes sense. So what is cleared up in the interpreter after each request? Looking at the slides, there is a "command table" and a "variable table". Looking at Wojciech's post, it seems any procedures created/packages loaded in the current interpreter stay there, is that correct?
From what I noticed, procs stay, variables not, however nothing outside global namespace is cleaned up. This is imho good, since packages can store data in namespaced variables.
I think it would be reasonable to develop some package loading/saving feature. I could code one (better one than I have now) in C (speed issues), but never had the time. My current ns_pkg is at www.nsstuff.zoro.tcl.pl, if anyone's interested.

This one showed that no namespaced variables are cleaned up by AOLserver
<% namespace eval z {} %>
::a <%=[info exists ::a]%><BR> ::z::a <%=[info exists ::z::a]%><BR>
<% set ::a b %> <% set ::z::a b %>
After about 100 requests the results were: ::a 0 ::z::a 1
(at the beginning it was 0 0)
