Are you using a staticly linked ruby or shared libraries? ps aux isn't a great indicator of memory usage because it will overlap shared libraries. "pmap -d " will give you a better indicator of memory usage, and I'm guessing you could toy with your thread stack size in ulimit to reduce actual footprint quite a bit if necessary. Caleb
