[Zope] Zope 2.7.3 Memory Leaks

[Stefan H. Holek]

Maybe that's your misconception then. The memory usage according to top 
is unlikely to go down significantly if at all. That's because the 
C-heap can not safely be shrunk most of the time.

So I'd say forget the heap usage and watch them refcounts instead.
