Sorry.  I missed that.  I was reading the response you cropped which
contained no reference to Rails and then glanced upwards at the
original post and didn't see that line.   That having been said, I
hope the other things I mentioned about memory management were
helpful, and were an indication that I wasn't discounting your
question.
