Need help interpreting bleak house output

Hello! I haven’t been able to find much on how to interpret the
output from bleak house. I got this after exercising my app for a
little while. Does anybody see anything suspicious?

Basically, my two mongrels use about 40MB each when started, and after
a day or two, they grow to almost 200MB. The main function of the
site is to display items (www.massstreetmusic.com), and there are
around 2500 items with a few pictures each (and yes, I’ve gotten rid
of RMagick). Maybe this usage is normal for a site of this size and
traffic (around 5,000 page views per day), but I’d appreciate the
opinion of others.

Thanks!

Hop into #fauna on Freenode IRC. The author of Bleahouse, Evan W.
(evn), can help you out.
