Hi all
I'm working with a long running, threaded server which serves HTTP requests with content which are passed through a XSLT processor. The XSLT processor I'm using is the Pyana processor.
I have one compiled stylesheet which I uses to process all responses. This way I only need to read and compile the stylesheet once.
When serving a rather small page 404-page I get the server to process 300-400 requests per second over a LAN connection. This is from the apache benchmark program, I don't know how reliable these numbers are but they give me some guidance.
My problem:
When serving my content without the XSLT processor the process size remains the same size. (about 18MB in the windows task manager). But when I use the XSLT processor the process will slowly gain size. About 1MB for each 10k requests, and this memory are not freed.
I feel certain that the leak are located in the XSLT processor since the problem occurs when that is plugged into the system.
There is not much wrapping code so I don't think the problem are of that manner.
So I wonder if anyone have had the same experience with this XSLT toolkit before and if you were able to fix it.
The software I'm using on the computer I've done the tests on:
Python 2.4 (ActivePython) Pyana 0.9.2 Win XP Pro SP2
I've tried with both precompiled and self compiled versions of the Pyana package.
