Hi Nick,
Do you mean that mod_sed should be used instead of mod_substitute?
Because it is more complete, or more mature? I only need the substitution.
About the flattening: is the q flag only needed if you want to use two
subst on the same line with overlapping between them?
Thanks,
Nick

Maybe is it due to Keep-alive?
It's recycled within the server.
If using the "q" switch to not flatten the buckets, it uses almost no
memory. Btw, it correctly handles more 60 substitutions on the same
line (some shorter, some longer) without the q flag !?! When exactly
is this flag needed?
Rarely, IMO. When I wrote mod_line_edit - which does essentially the
same as mod_substitute - I didn't provide that option, and instead
documented it as not working with overlapping substitutions.
Another "slow by default" flag in mod_substitute is that it
uses regexps by default. Turn them off unless you definitely
need them!
Anyway, I do not understand why the memory is not released, as the
pool is supposed to be destroyed.

mod_sed is now the state-of-the-art. Perhaps a visit to
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/mod/mod_sed.html
would be in order.
