IMHO the "occasionally" is the only wrong thing of the whole story. It must not be "occasionally", it must be "occasionally _or_ when the task is growing to an insanse size".
One good way to see the gc in action is to add 'gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_LEAK)' at the start of your program. Most of the time I realize it's my program fault when I use this :). But you may have to adjust the gc threshold in real life application (note that a reconnectingclientfactory with a disconnect every second is not exactly a use case). -- Thomas
