Hello Kirk, Thanks for your answer. I'm using ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux]. The Rails app uses those plugins : * acts_as_taggable_on_steroids * attachment_fu * exception_notification * localization Which kink of issues with my code could use that much memory? If I load lots of records with Active Records, aren't they "unloaded" at some times? Thanks in advance for your help. Thomas.
