[Zope] Degrading performance with redirects?

Hi,

We're experiencing a problem with a Zope based site that serves most of its
content via redirects, the new location based on results from a PostgreSQL
database.

The weird thing is that the Zope site becomes very slow after a week or two,
which is fixed by restarting Zope. It doesn't seem to be a memory problem
(512MB free out of 768MB total) or a load problem (server is 99% idle most
of the time). Zope has about 5 Gigabytes of storage available, running on
Red Hat Linux 7.1.

The homepage is served by a redirect:

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/html')">
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect('nl/another.page')">

The rest of the site is basic DTML, building tables based on results from
the database with a few if's here and there.

Could it be that the '.' in the redirect causes problems? Or the setHeader?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Jonathan
