Shane, Well I lied. The memory is now fluctuating. It went as high as 12MB available (out of a gig) and down to 2MB. This seems fine, it's just that I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel. Also, I really am curious why flushing the cache doesn't reclaim memory, too.

I had some hassles with this recently. There's a HOWTO at: http://www.zope.org/Members/gtk/containers Can you create the child zclass from the manage screen inside the parent zclass? Does the parent zclass inherit from ObjectManager before any other superclasses? -- Karl Anderson karl(a)digicool.com

No, make a flattened design. My 2 cents (eurocents that is) Rik

I was at 173632 available (This is only a half our after the Zope restart BTW. It ate 100MB in under that time.) before the second pass and now I'm at 173616.

No. After the 'minimize' I now have 15501 objects in cache combined. And the free command shows less memory than before the minimize command. As Wyle E.

Zope 2.1.6 Memory issue
by Jason Spisak 22 May '00

22 May '00

Zopists, I am spoiled. I have a large server and until now I have never really monitored memory usage. But I noticed things slowing down a great deal and was curious. Swapping. Machine: RH 6.1 2.2.12-smp Dual Xenon 1 gig memory Zope install: Zope 2.1 Binary ZODB pure. No DA's Home grown ZClasses. 'ps' tells me Zope is the culprit. It's using 64% when things get swappy. There are no prosesses running on this machine BTW. It's just a Zope server. My Data.fs file is ~300 packed and gets to be about 1GB at the end of every day. (A lot of transactions :) Zope is eating memory at the rate of 10MB every 2 minutes. Is that appropriate? I never noticed a slowdown until I switched to 2.1, really. I've considered writing a small python progam to compare the output of 'free' to the Zope log, but I'd love to see if there is another way to nail what's eating mem. If someone can tell me the best way to narrow it down from experience, I'll do it this afternoon. Hopefully, -- Jason Spisak 444(a)hiretechs.com
