Is it 12MB of code or are you using modules to store data? If it's code then it might be possible to look at only importing the modules as they're needed. If it's data it might be beter to work out how to get it into the datastore and only access the bits you need when you need them.
I would first try to find a way to avoid loading the 12MB because you can't rely on it staying in memory between requests. 2008/9/16 Tony Arkles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sorry, by "light load" I mean "infrequent traffic".
