this sounds like normal operating system behavior. memory isn't being free'd just dealloc and returned to the program heap and marked as available.
Ok. So you're saying that even though it says it's taking 50MB, much of that memory is probably available for other applications? Does this mean that if another application actually starts to use that memory that the Zope process should start showing a reduction in use? How can I (if I can) see how much is really available? Also, does the free memory below not necessarily reflect the amount of memory that is actually available for applications that may need it? total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 126312 122936 3376 48424 5820 29952 -/+ buffers/cache: 87164 39148 Swap: 530104 21876 508228 Sorry if this is inappropriate for the Zope list. I have only *noticed* this behavior with Zope, but that may not mean anything. _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc. rbickers@logicetc.com
