Terry, The only thing you're doing is setting the timeout for a bot to one second. They still create a session, but the session is destroyed immediately. The whole problem is that sessions are created for each bot hit and exist until the session times out. If you have one bot hitting ten pages, that's ten sessions. If you have ten bots hitting ten pages, that's one hundred sessions. If the session lasts for five minutes, then you can see how it will simply ramp up RAM as the bots come in.
House of Fusion gets tens of thousands of bot hits a day, and by using this technique, we show no loss of memory or performance.
