I decided to check around for any glaring memory leaks in Mephisto
after receiving this comment on the Mephisto blog:
--------
Rick,
I think there's a memory leak in the image processor stuff –
unfortunately, I haven't been able figure out exactly where it is.
(I've seen this happen without uploading any images at all, BTW). With
the ASSET_IMAGE_PROCESSOR set to either :rmagick or :image_science,
I've been seeing memory usage increase steadily while clicking around
the admin UI. However, with the image processor turned off, memory
usage stabilizes at around 58MB.
Cheers, Vivek

I've tried using ab to hit various actions, and tried uploading
several large wallpapers at a time. With ImageScience, my memory
might peak at about 45MB, but usually drops down to about 42MB by the
next request or so. RMagick jumps up to around 80-90MB each time but
immediately falls back down. Is anyone seeing any vastly different
behavior?
