You read correctly, just not the entire post. I said that the machine was broken and was not seeing the 128 MB of RAM I have installed, instead it was only using the 12 on the system board (DELL). As for Python sucking up memory (and one of the reasons I posted) it is true. I have it on another machine with 256 MB or memory and here is what it is doing.. TSIZE SIZE SWAP RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM CTIME COMMAND 403 44376 0 43M 1424 S 0 0.0 17.2 6:08 python 403 44376 0 43M 1424 S 0 0.0 17.2 0:00 python 403 44376 0 43M 1424 S 0 0.0 17.2 2:53 python 403 44376 0 43M 1424 S 0 0.0 17.2 1:33 python 403 44376 0 43M 1424 S 0 0.0 17.2 7:57 python 403 44376 0 43M 1424 S 0 0.0 17.2 6:11 python That is 43MB per! Zope uses what it can take. On the machine with 12MB it uses this.. SIZE SWAP RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM CTIME COMMAND 6592 816 332 S 0 0.0 5.9 3:06 python 6592 816 332 S 0 0.0 5.9 0:00 python 6592 816 332 S 0 0.0 5.9 2:04 python 6592 816 332 S 0 0.0 5.9 1:54 python 6592 816 332 S 0 0.0 5.9 1:39 python 6592 816 332 S 0 0.0 5.9 2:46 python I am sure on a machine with 5 GB it would use most of it. Such is the nature of Linux (I think). It goes up and down with usage and with packing the database. J

Mem: 13608K av, 12824K used, 784K free,
WHAT? Yes, only 12MB of memory... The machine has lost all of its memory and is just running on the system board memory. Oh yeah, and it is a 166 MHz Pentium.
Sorry, but I don't quite understand what your message meant. (I am serious and not making fun.)
You only mentioned 12MB memory. Is that all the RAM memory on the machine?
Do you know that a person just complained about Zope because it was sucking up 2GB of memory? No, there is no typo. It's 2GB, not 2MB.
I mean, to run a website, at very least be prepared to have 64MB, it's about US$70 nowadays. I hope I have not misunderstood, but I can't possibly imagine Zope running on a computer that has only 12MB! :)
regard,
Hung Jung
