Yes you are correct. There is a memory leak with Cold Fusion. We currently
run our server with 4GB of ram on each and have not had "many" problems. I
have spoken with a couple of people at Albany CF Users group and found that
they do not suggest running a production CF Server with less than 512MB of
ram. Event then I would keep an eye on the memory usage. As it was explained
to me the server is grabbing memory to use when it access your queries. Then
the server holds on to this memory in the event you may need it again. Some
helpful things I have been told are;
1) Make sure your databases are not on the CF server.
2) Scheduled reboots.
3) Structures such as cfloops eat up memory fast.
4) Make sure no session variables are just hanging out on the server.
These few thing have made the memory leak less of an issue, but it still
becomes a problem every once and a while.
Hope this helps you out.
