Thank you for your reply.
Now I use
Apache 2.2.4
Mod_python 3.3.0.b
Python 2.3.5
The results are more or less the same when I used
Apache 2.0
and mod_python 3.1.3-1
Python 2.3.4
Memory increases when I read (filter.read()) or write( filter.write(s).
In otherwords, memory is not released after I wrote data to a file( before next reading).
Is my presumption correct that the memory should be released
during each
reading/writing in the filter?
Or do I make a mistake somewhere?
Thank you for help
Regards,
Lad.
