As a more complete test I did 3 things... 1) replicated what my function through web2py was doing in a separate script and ran that thousands of times on the same server. This did not severely impact memory usage.
2) set up a web2py function in my controller to simply return a json obect. I am using the protocol: *domain/app/controller/func.json* No processing, just a return statement. I then ran this script from a separate host. Calling it 1000 times on multiple processors. The memory shot up right away. 3) reran, from the separate host the same script only this time not requesting a json object response. *domain/app/controller/func* This also made the memory peak to a point of crashing the machine. is this a leak or do I need to specify some sort of cache for web2py?
