I've got a Zope instance that uses a custom product to store a couple MB of data. When the object is created, it loads up a bunch of data from the filesystem and pretty much just stores it statically.
Creating an instance of this object appears to cause no major drag on Zope... while dormant, this zope instance uses 0.1 of available memory. Making a request against the object briefly spikes usage to ~3%.
Over the course of 2-3 days, however this zope instance grows to consume
90% of available memory which is obviously a problem. This is on a server with 2 GB of RAM running little besides zope and apache.
Did you look at the "Reference counts" section in "Control_Panel --> Debug information"? Dieter
