The way you phrase your question suggests you saw a big jump in memory usage with the latest release? What do you mean by using 36MB of RAM? Is this total mapped memory? How did you determine this? Is this the memory usage you get with a single session? You should probably also differentiate between shared (rx) en non-shared (rw) memory segments? > Has anybody any idea how to minimize the memory footprint > of an WT application ? There are many possibilities... There is some overhead by Wt itself which can be reduced in some cases. Depending on your deployment, an unnecessary large amount of memory can be consumed by (thread) stacks. To reduce this, you can: - reduce number of threads - reduce stack sizes (on one linux distribution this was 8MB per stack!) Then there is memory used by widgets. To get a low memory usage, here are some tips: - only create widgets when they are actually drawn and visible on the screen - store WString data in message resources, and do not persist the bundle in memory, by using WMessageResourceBundle::use(..., false); - wrap widgets that are not interactive (besides perhaps internal path changes or client-side JavaScript), in a WViewWidget (see the Wt-homepage example). These will only be created for rendering, but not consume any memory resources otherwise.
