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? 342727 total objects Final heap size 342727 filled, 410045 free Displaying top 20 most common line/class pairs 257845 **null** : **null** : **node** 27971 **null** : **null** :String 2160 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.0.2/lib/action\_view/ helpers/asset\_tag\_helper.rb:449:String 1930 (eval):3:String 1089 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/actionpack-2.0.2.gemspec: 15:String 1045 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:String 987 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/ actionpack-1.13.6.gemspec:13:String 981 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/ actionpack-1.13.3.gemspec:13:String 945 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/ activerecord-2.0.2.gemspec:15:String 927 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/ activerecord-1.15.6.gemspec:13:String 915 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/ activerecord-1.15.3.gemspec:13:String 909 **null** : **null** :Regexp 807 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/rubygems- update-1.1.1.gemspec:15:String 735 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/net-ssh-1.1.2.gemspec: 15:String 727 **null** : **null** :Class 720 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/rails-2.0.2.gemspec: 14:String 654 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.2/lib/ active\_record/attribute\_methods.rb:160: **node** 605 /usr/local/lib/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/specification.rb: 557:Array 576 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/specifications/rubygems- update-1.0.1.gemspec:15:String 538 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/ active\_support/core\_ext/module/introspection.rb:31:String 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](http://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! -Kyle ---
