Ruby is a garbage collected language. Ruby has a conservative mark and sweep garbage collector. Memory usage like that is probably not a Mongrel issue (unless you are generating _very_ large responses in your application). It's likely an issue with your code. What version of Ruby are you using? Are you using any extensions? Kirk Haines _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
