It's sad to hear that other people are experiencing this, too. I originally chose Typo because it was lighter weight than WP. That's still true for LOC, which counts for a lot, but I'm surprised at how resource intensive it is. I've noticed that Typo takes up 50% more memory than another RoR application I have running (which has almost as much code as Typo). I'm not sure why Typo is taking up so much memory, especially since it's a low-traffic site. In other words, the memory taken up isn't by a lot of controller instances existing at the same time. It's the amount of memory taken up when there are no pages being served (but after the first page has been served). I haven't looked through the code thoroughly, but I notice that there are a lot of things loaded in environment.rb (using require_dependency -- since environment.rb is loaded only once, I'm pretty sure that this is the same as require, per http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RequireDependency). Is it necessary to load everything here? I don't know that everyone is going to be using jabber, flickr, tada, etc. I did try and comment many of them out, and noticed only a small decrease in memory (of course, I might have missed commenting out the cuplprit(s)). I also noticed that when the site first starts up, the memory usage is similar to other Rails applications. After loading the first page, the size almost doubles, so I thought there might be something in the controllers causing the meory usage. And, yet, application.rb and articles_controller.rb seem pretty innocent -- neither, at a glance, is loading much stuff. Any ideas what's taking up all the memory?
