I've just completed a couple of overnight thrashing tests. Serving
400,000 pages or so appears to leak about 400MB of memory.
This amounts to about 1kb per page invocation. Each page was served
by PyApache. The system tracking tool on Linux showed the 10 or so
httpd processes that had been spawned as having grown to about 40MB
each.

Comments from PyApache folks?
