"but why wouldn't that memory be released after the request is complete?"
Where is this data being stored? Is there code to clear the data? I.E. If the application makes use of session variables for the data, it is not going to be cleared until after the session times out. That is twenty minutes by default but is often defined to be longer. If one is getting two hits a second averaging 2 megs a hit that is ~4,800 megs or 4.8 gigs of accumulated memory in even twenty minutes before the first request start timing out to be cleared. At this point, I think an investigation of the application and how it uses and releases memory is in order. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295004 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
