Thanks for the swift response. You did mention of a lambda tool. Can you direct me to a place where I can get more information on it?
I too have the same fears that increasing the memory will just delay the inevitable memory problems. Is there any other suggestions that you might have on this (For e.g. is there any tool that can pinpoint where the memory problem is in the application without having the sourcec code).
