I am assuming that the first caveat suggests I should increase the timeouts? This seems unlikely to be the cause, because the monotonic increase begins immediately - every contact appears to spawn a process that does not go away. Increases in process count only happen when someone visits the site. My database connections are accomplished by scripting the aws command line interface - I have no persistent database connections. This is behaving like every connection to hypnotoad leaves a process sitting around forever.
I have increased the timeouts, without much hope or expectation that that will help. Preliminary observations suggest that it does not.
