I had similar memory consumption problems. In my case a module of our web application generated during a long running test bigger and bigger html-pages about several megabytes per page. webtest needed more and more memory to process these "big" pages. Probably the heavily usage of xpath in some tests increased memory usage additionally.
Have a look at your "webtest-results" directory where the responses are stored. File sizes of megabytes could caused high memory consumption during the webtest run.

I don't have my xml file right now, but tomorrow morning I'll answer how many steps I'm using. Usually the steps are becoming slowly as the script is executed. cheers, Luiz 2006/6/17, Dierk Koenig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi Luiz, welcome to Canoo WebTest. How much MBs of memory is that? How many tests (steps) do you have? How long do they take to execute? Looking at the generated reports, which steps have an usual long 'duration'? With a quickly responding server, Canoo WebTest executes about 200 server roundtrips per minute, see http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/reports/selftest/WebTestReport.html cheers Mittie -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Luiz Fernando Rodrigues Sent: Freitag, 16.

The problem is that the test allocates several MB of memory slowing the execution. Why does the tests has to allocate so much memory? Is there somehow to flush this allocated memory to make the execution faster?
