Hi guys, Along the lines of Thomas question, I've noticed that my mongrel rails processes start at around 50 MB, and creep up to around 100 MB (or a little over) pretty soon after being used. Is this something other folks are seeing (i.e. standard rails overhead), or does it sound specific to my app?
Also, if anyone has any tips on finding memory leaks in mongrel, they'd be much appreciated. I've played with watching the ObjectSpace. Is this the best way? Kirk: thanks for the tip on Array.shift with Ruby 1.8.5. I'll keep an eye out for this.
