memory usage under solaris

[Mark Probert]

I had an interesting experience today.
A user reported high memory usage of one of my
Ruby scripts (it is threaded, running about 60 threads
each with a telnet session).

top showed that the script was sucking 831M!

Is this usual?

Um, it kinda depends on your program.

Even if the script is super simple-looking, it might be doing something
like sucking a huge file into RAM. Unless you show us your script this
question is impossible to answer.
