Well, that does depend on what your app is doing. There's some basic overheads that probably can add up to several tens of megs, then stuff you actually do is on top of that... 256MiB is a little cramped by modern bloaty standards, but just in case: by any chance did you still have settings.DEBUG on during your test? [1]. That usually causes disconcertingly large and rapidly increasing memory usage as it logs every sql query to an in-memory list for debugging purposes. You can periodically empty django.db.connection.queries to keep it down when settings.DEBUG is on, but then of course you lose the log in question. For production, of course DEBUG should be off.
