The real question is: what's hogging up memory? Use theory of constraints: find the parts of your application that use the most memory, optimize it, and move on to the next battle. You should profile and benchmark your application to find out. There's lots of tools you could use for that, including railsbench and the NewRelic/FineRuns/Scout facilities. Depending on the time you have on your hands it might be cheaper to up the memory. RAM's cheap and developer time typically isn't. -- Roderick van Domburg http://www.nedforce.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
