Rails - Aug 2005 - Memory use under fastcgi

I''m running the latest stable versions of ruby, rails, lighttpd, and
fastcgi under freebsd 5.4.  Over time the fastcgi processes grow and
grow even though they are just running the same controllers and views
over and over.  THe data being pulled from the database is miniscule,
just testing data (1-5 rows per query).

If I startup lighttpd and fastcgi then click on every link in my
application so that all the views and controllers are in memory,
fastcgi uses about 30 mb.  about 16 hours later it''s up to 80.

With certain actions, like AJAX calls, I can be running top and watch
the processes grow in size after every request.

Any ideas on where to look first?

Are you running in development mode? It has a memory leak. Try 
production mode.

Aye I''m running in development mode.  If it''s not in
production mode I
won''t worry about it then.
