50 to 100MB? What's it caching (and does it need to)?! I've got desktop apps with a full GUI that don't take that much memory! Even Thunderbird on my machine is only using ~75MB and that's with the bloat of the XUL interface and some huge inboxes.
I'll try to upgrade to a newer Python as I'm still back on 2.3 (it's a CentOS 4.6 VPS so it's not too up-to-date by as standard). Hopefully Python won't have too many dependencies! Looks like I might have to start upgrading the server's memory once it starts getting used more :\ So far I've only got a couple of small SVN repos and I'm the only user. I don't think I'd have had these memory usage problems if I'd stuck with Mantis, but Trac has more integrated features and is far more manageable.
