From: Daniel DeLorme Date: 2007-02-03T16:42:14+09:00 Subject: Using fork to conserve memory Lately I've been bothered by the large start-up time and memory consumption of rails (although this could apply to any large framework). The solution I have in mind is to load rails in one master process (slow, high memory) and then fork child processes (fast, most mem shared with parent) to be used by apache. Are there any projects out there that do something like this? Or am I gonna have to make it myself? Daniel
