I just posted this in the Collector but I wanted to get some feedback from the list as well. That way those greedy bastards at DC won't get all the fun of fixing and extending zope. We Need some sort of method to keep memory usage in check. Currently a brand new instance with an empty database will consume 4 MB of memory. If you upload 1 or 2 6 MB files into this database the running process swells up to 18 MB in memory and no matter how many times you flush the cache the process still remains the same size. For that matter we're unable to decrease the number of objects stored in the cache as well. Maybe we are using it wrong? It would be nice to be able to set a quota of 10 MB to the total amount of memory each process uses. Or to have more aggressive garbage collection. If we can get a fix on this issue then running multiple instances of Zope from the same box should be a breeze. (Although maybe expensive, but I've always wanted to have a box with 1GB of RAM) --------------------------------------------------- - Scott Robertson Phone: 714.972.2299 - - CodeIt Computing Fax: 714.972.2399 - - http://codeit.com - ---------------------------------------------------
