Hi, I thought it appropriate moving this topic to a new thread... has anybody using file_column had any problems with memory usage? I''ve been experiencing progressively bigger dispatchers, til hitting textdrive limits, not sure if it''s file_column itself or something wrong I''m doing after a model using file_column saves. Been trying to troubleshoot it at the textdrive forum: http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=7269 it was pointed out that RMagick might have something to do with it http://rubyforge.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1374&forum_id=1618 and I was referred to a proposed solution by manually starting GC http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/Gotcha (search for "RMagick") which I haven''t implemented successfully, though trying to add GC.start to a few different places. thanks Oliver
