Oh, that's another thing: RSS doesn't work like that. free()ing memory doesn't mean it's returned to the operating system. The reasons for that are kind of complicated but google for keywords like 'heap fragmentation' or 'memory pressure' and you'll understand why. The bottom line is that RSS is not a very reliable metric for measuring a program's actual memory usage. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
