I've found the largest memory hog to be the native way related tables are setup.
Check class definitions with related tables and edit as such: class ...(models.Mode): relatedtable = models.ForeignKey(RelatedTable, core=True, raw_id_admin=True) The raw_id_admin=True prevents django from pulling up all related records when the object is loaded etc. While I would have expected this to only affect the admin side, it had a huge impact on the public side of our site. Memory consumption went from +500mb to 20-30mb. Joe On Dec 11, 12:53 pm, Richard Coleman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At work, we are developing a commercial website based on Django.
