Webware and RAM!

How much memory WebKit should normally take??? As I can see, every
WebKit daemon takes over 40MB (sic!) of RAM. WebKit lauches 10 daemons
during startup, so I need over 400MB for WebKit alone! Is it
normal or I have something wrong configured?

Huh. Weird. I run WebKit in threaded mode, so there's only 1
daemon running ever, and it starts at about 7 MB. After a few hours of
serious use in the app I've written, it can be about 50MB, but partly
that's due to the fact that the app contains a file mananger for very
broad and deep filesystems and maintains a large and robust cache of the
filesystem image in memory. As a bit of a hack I have a cron job to
simply interrupt the server and then restart it when it gets too big, to
deal with leaks; using the Dynamic session manager makes this seamless
and the users never notice.

Are you sure that you count only the really used memory.
I haven't used Linux in the last two years but i remember that some
tools
display wrong sizes (adding all dynamic libraries and even the XFree
Graphic card memory).

The basic memory consumption of webware on Windows is around 5 MB.

That's right. I was wrong. I was fooled with 'top' command of my RH7.
