Hi Johann, Web2py is microscopic itself. 55Mb over is a lot! I have a really hard time imagining how this might happen from Web2py.
Have you got anything else running on your account like Plone or Mercurial (pulling large files like photos?) Any breakdown you can get on memory usage might help a lot. Are we talking about diskspace and/or ram? I had some issues (and still do) with Webfaction using another product with Apache, but that product was a good 35 MB itself and the databases it created where huge, as in 100MB and more. That would be very difficult to do with Web2py unless you are uploading video's, photos, music, photos or other large files. Moving to a shared 3 plan did not solve the problem with the other product I was using but adding web2py and running a web2py basic website hardly bumped my memory usage up at all. Web2py itself was under 5megs and a basic application less than one meg. Did you install with the mod_wsgi webfaction script?
