There is probably a jump after the first request, then a slow creep upward for a bit, then it should stabilize. If it never stabilizes, then you have something in your code somewhere which is leaking. > 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? There are some tools that help, but yeah, mostly it's by using objectspace and looking through your code. If the code uses an extension, it's easy for an extension to have a leak that doesn't show up so easily, though. I originally found the Array#shift leak by using valgrind on Ruby, since all of that is C code. > Kirk: thanks for the tip on Array.shift with Ruby 1.8.5. I'll keep > an eye out for this. If this bites you, you can migrate to the most recent 1.8.6, or you can change your code to not use shift. Generally when shift is used, push is being used to stick things on one end of the array while shift pulls them off the front. Changing that to use unshift and pop gets around the problem.
