It improves the responsiveness of the system, and thus improves performance. I agree it is a work-around - but even a work-around is (or can be) an improvement. I'm still uncertain what causes the memory consumption, in particular as the problems occur at times of the day when I'm asleep (at American daylight), so it's difficult for me to investigate. In any case, I created http://cheeseshop.python.org/gc which allows to inspect a Python memory tally for a specific web server (reload to inspect a different server process).
