That's a bit creepy. If not the DEBUG issue, then what? The parent Apache process hasn't budged from 3MB since the restart and I can't imagine what else would have changed between the 90MB period and the 30MB period. I loaded my project from svn so there were no .pyc files initially, I've never used the built-in dev server, and I didn't delete the .pyc files when I restarted Apache so I doubt that's made any difference.
