Sorry I have not had time to respond quickly - I encountered the same thing as Julian.
Running from Source shows the task with memory growth: 'python' this is expected, because this was started from the terminal. Python 2.7.11 Gcc 4.2.1 Running from Binary shows the task with memory growth: 'web2py' this is also expected, because this was started from the Mac Binary itself. I had to mess around a while with this, and eventually removed a malware scanning tool. When I did this, the memory growth slowed. Still there, but the system is usable again. OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 Web2Py 2.14.6-stable+timestamp.2016.05.10.00.21.47 memory growth of about 2MB/minute. Then I got an older Mac, and ran the app on an earlier version of Mac OS X - interesting - NO memory growth! OS X 10.9.5 So there is some issue with the latest OS X interacting with Web2Py both the source and the binary versions.
