Nothing. I think Dossy was being facetious. Most people using AOLserver are using it for generating dynamic content, and in that scenario AOLserver using 30 to 150 mb or so of RAM is utterly normal and nothing to worry about. You can do things to reduce the memory footprint if you want, but unless it's over a few hundred MB most people don't care, as massive amounts of RAM are so cheap these days. The truly heinous memory leaks in some versions of Oracle's 9i client libraries are the only things I've heard of that, in practice, have ever made AOLserver suck up 1.5+ GB of memory. One user recently reported his AOLserver going up to 1.6 GB for exactly that reason (bad Oracle libraries) before finally crashing due to resource exhaustion on his Linux box. I've never heard of anyone seeing 2 GB or more, although no doubt there are unusual purposes and configurations that could legitimately use that much RAM. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
