Subject: Re: Memory Leak Madness

Thanks again for all the help. My problems are gone. I still haven't 
tried fastthread but that's next on my list.

Here is what I did:
-paid a little more attention nil-ing/.clearing arrays and hashes I no 
longer need
-traded most threads for forking (with win32-process)
-queued all work in reliable-msg rather than an in memory array

to-do:
-swap all remaining native ruby threads with fastthreads for a little 
performance boost.

My application uses a lot more RAM because of forking, but I've gained 
speed and scalability with forks and reliable-msg. I can fork more 
processes as needed and spread them out over many computers.

The only thing I can't figure out is how to expose the reliable-msg 
server to outside IP addresses (it only binds to localhost) but I'll do 
more reading.
