But Ruby processes never release memory back to the operating system. So, the fact that its RSS never goes down is normal. In normal circumstances, Mongrel should grow up to some point around 60-120 Mb and stay there. 300 Mb and growing is a sure sign you have a memory leak somewhere. -- Alexey Verkhovsky CruiseControl.rb [http://cruisecontrolrb.thoughtworks.com] RubyWorks [http://rubyworks.thoughtworks.com] _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
