Re: [Zope] memory leak problems

The script crawls through a folder structure which contains Photo's and subfolders. It returns a healthy list of about 400 Photo's (from the Photo product) which are all object referenses. It works like it's supposed to, but the server leaks like hell when I run this. From about 5-10% of the memory to up to 50-70%!! Having accidently triggered this script I have to restart the server. This is not a leak.

Your script forces Zope to load 400 photos from ZODB into memory. This requires space... Depending on OS (Linux may do it), memory consumption may go down again when the objects are flushed from cache. Dieter
