I've been told on good authority that XAccel has a number of leaks, but this doesn't fit the pattern. The memory usage goes up gradually over a period of some time, and Netscrape doesn't seem to accelerate this behaviour. I fired one up just a while back, and it hasn't changed the VSZ at all. BTW, does anybody know why RSS is so much larger than VSZ? Is this malloced memory? Greg
