[Zope-dev] Memory leak (2)

[Chris McDonough]

It's not covered by the data output into the -M log.  Objects can leak
without requests hanging or taking a long time.  But you might be able to
turn on profiling (set the PROFILE_PUBLISHER env var to a filename and
restart Zope) on a *test* box (do not do it in production, it drastically
effects performance), and look at the profile output.  If the memory loss is
severe, it might help to investigate the methods that have the largest
"ncalls" value (the most frequently called methods).  That said, there's no
globally easy way to diagnose a memory leak.  It's a matter of exclusion.
