[Zope] Minimal Zope Install - True Story

[J. Atwood]

You read correctly, just not the entire post. I said that the machine was
broken and was not seeing the 128 MB of RAM I have installed, instead it was
only using the 12 on the system board (DELL).

As for Python sucking up memory (and one of the reasons I posted) it is
true. I have it on another machine with 256 MB or memory and here is what it
is doing..

TSIZE  SIZE SWAP  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM  CTIME COMMAND
403 44376    0  43M  1424 S       0  0.0 17.2   6:08 python
403 44376    0  43M  1424 S       0  0.0 17.2   0:00 python
403 44376    0  43M  1424 S       0  0.0 17.2   2:53 python
403 44376    0  43M  1424 S       0  0.0 17.2   1:33 python
403 44376    0  43M  1424 S       0  0.0 17.2   7:57 python
403 44376    0  43M  1424 S       0  0.0 17.2   6:11 python

That is 43MB per! 

Zope uses what it can take. On the machine with 12MB it uses this..

SIZE SWAP  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM  CTIME COMMAND
6592  816   332 S       0  0.0  5.9   3:06 python
6592  816   332 S       0  0.0  5.9   0:00 python
6592  816   332 S       0  0.0  5.9   2:04 python
6592  816   332 S       0  0.0  5.9   1:54 python
6592  816   332 S       0  0.0  5.9   1:39 python
6592  816   332 S       0  0.0  5.9   2:46 python

I am sure on a machine with 5 GB it would use most of it. Such is the nature
of Linux (I think). It goes up and down with usage and with packing the
database.
