[pypy-dev] Help with memory usage

[Matheus Salvia]

Sorry for mailing this list just to ask, but I have a question regarding
pypy's memory usage.
I have an application which starts many child processes in order to do
heavy processing.
When running my app under CPython, it uses about 1GB of memory, but when
running with pypy
it goes up to almost 3GB. I tried calling gc.collect() at some points on
the code as well as
setting some GC ambient vars, but without much success. Why is pypy using
so much more memory,
and how can I reduce it? Is there a way of using refcount instead of GC?

Thanks in Advance,
Matheus Salvia
