Hi All, Hope you had a wonderful holiday :)
I am experiencing an issue for the past couple of weeks, am getting soft memory exceeded errors and the instance is being terminated.. This only started occuring recently. The pages experiencing this error are mostly reporting kind of pages, i.e pages that deal with a number of records that are fetched based on filters selected by the user and use django.core.paginator.Paginator to paginate over the result. I have a maximum of 700 records that are fetched for these reports, according to datastore statistics in the admin console the average size of the entities being fetched are 4KB. Average Size of Entity: 4 KBytes Some of the properties are reference properties and I do use prefetch logic to load these references as well, but most of them are also small entities. By my caclulations 158MB should be enough to handle a list of ~40448 records! I am not able to figure out why the request is using this much memory. I have tried eliminating most of the usual suspects (large string concatination and so on), even tried deleting the large list after they are processed and calling garbage collect, nothing seems to work. Next step is to try and setup Apptrace for app engine. Can anyone out there help me with this? Anyone else have any similar issues? How did you manage to sort it out?

This is likely to cause a new process to be used for the next request to your application.
