[web2py] Re: web2py GAE and memory usage

[Wikus van de Merwe]

The exact behaviour of this instance memory control mechanism was not 
revealed (see 
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1646 ). From your 
log message
it looks like it was the first request that triggered the limit so the 
garbage collection can hardly
be blamed here. And from what I've read, the soft limit exception (in 
contrast to a hard one)
means that a request was allowed to complete before the instance was shut 
down.
