		mojombo on April 24, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Use Monit with Rails, not God MRI has had a variety of memory leaks. I did an extensive search for the memory leaks on god, which you can read about here: http://groups.google.com/group/god-rb/browse_thread/thread/0.... I've verified that it's not an object referencing issue (which you can also read about in that link). Something in the threading code of MRI appears to be at fault, but I haven't had time to track that down yet.

Tom , I just saw your comment on the post. I stand corrected. It seems the Ruby interpreter does leak memory!

Interesting, thanks for the pointer.
