If there's zero memory growth after reaching a stable size in 3.x, but no such stable size is ever reached in 4.0.x, that might be helpful. That'd likely indicate a leak in AOLserver itself that was introduced in 4.0.x.
I can't answer that yet, but I did run some tests. I restarted the site, checked the size, then ran htdig three times in quick succession and checked again. In 3.3 we gained 8.8 MB, which was 24% of the original size. In 4.0.8 we gained 301.8 MB, 110% of the original size. However, much of the gain was in the first run, and subsequent runs only added about 500 KB each. That's not enough to explain the growth I've been seeing; running once per hour over a week, it would have to add about 10 MB each run.
I will try to rig up some multi-day tests, but I can't do it immediately; I have other work I need to do for this client that requires the staging site. Once that's done, then I can experiment a bit.
If you can identify what URL or URLs, when requested, cause the growth in 4.0.x, that would be extremely helpful.
Well, I certainly know that requesting an article does it; I haven't branched out to try others yet.
Also, what version of Tcl are you running?
8.4.6.
