wish list item: minimalistic memory

[rogerdpack]

Currently I have two rails sites on a linode slice. So say I limit
the pool size to 2:
Then I have 4 rails processes: a spawner for each, and the running
ruby instance



117m 49m 3156 S 0 13.8 0:00.93 ruby
139m 68m 3368 S 0 19.1 0:01.23 ruby


125m 50m 2180 S 0 14.1 0:00.03 ruby
171m 89m 2240 S 0 24.7 0:00.61 ruby

My wish is that I had an option for "super sparse RAM use"

i.e.
not preload vendor/rails or what not, so two of those memory users
could go to almost nothing.

[this is without REE, but I believe the principle would still hold--I
have yet to profile it sorry].
Thoughts?

Conservative spawning already does this. But I think you will find
(with REE) that you'll use more memory in total, despite having fewer
processes.

oh cool that's exactly what I want :)
Now to see if I can get 32-bit to use less memory, or perhaps the
MBARI patches.... :)
