I discovered a race condition problem in web2py cron. This may cause spikes in the number of web2py processes and eat lots of memory on your system when running multiple processes. Some of you have reported the problem.
I changed wsgihandler in trunk and replaced from gluon.contrib.wsgihooks import ExecuteOnCompletion2, callback application = ExecuteOnCompletion2(gluon.main.wsgibase, callback) with application = gluon.main.wsgibase thus disabling cron by default in this situation. I think this problem can be fixed by using file locks instead of the current cron.py locking mechanisms. I am close to a solution and will post it tomorrow.
