But when you check the use of RAM memory in your machine... (maybe with the command "top" or the command "free") don't you notice a increasing amount of RAM used without being released?

To be honest, no ... I noticed, yes, some increasing in cpu usage, but mem stays the same.

PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND 11760 root 15 0 590M 516M 2396 S 0.9 51.2 68:15 0 mediaproxy.py

51.2% of memory used? What version of pyhton are you using?, what OS are you using?. Thanks!

OS = Linux Red Hat 7.3 Python = Python 2.4 mediaproxy = mediaproxy.py 1.0 ser = 0.9.0
