I usually use XEpollThreadPool however persebi a large memory usage for 
sites that have a lot of content and access reaching over 1 GB. Changed 
to ThreadPool and memory fell not from 4x 256MB. However 
XEpollThreadPool is faster than ThreadPool. Accepted suggestions for 
configuration. I tested also with CoolioThreadPool speed was good but 
the memory consumption and large too.


Tanks

Wait, ThreadPool uses significantly less than XEpollThreadPool?

Since this is likely glibc/eglibc, try setting MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1 and
MALLOC_ARENA_TEST=1 in the env before starting Rainbows!  AFAIK, these
are mainly documented by Red Hat, but in all recent-ish versions of
glibc/eglibc support it.

Then increase the values if you see performance gains (unlikely unless
your app releases the GVL a lot or don't have one (rbx)).

Yes, XEpollThreadPool 4 times more memory than ThreadPool will do tests 
as you indicated and verifying systems that have other glibc

Hello Eric,

I discovered that when you restart the server (linux 2.3.50, glibc 2.15) 
memory stopped growing indiscriminately.

2 questions:

1) The POOL_SIZE XEpollThreadPool series of the number of connections 
accepted epoll so'd have one for each thread
2) I saw the gem 'mall' and she seems to adjust as you indicted by glibc 
environment variables are correct? If yes in config / initializers added 
a file.rb with the following:
Mall.opt (Mall :: ARENA_MAX, 1)
Mall.opt (Mall :: ARENA_TEST, 1)


Tanks,

Alexandre Riveira

Linux 2.3.50?  Huh?  Assuming that's 3.2.50.  Anyways, user-visible
memory usage is only dependent on glibc version.

No, pool_size for XEpollThreadPool is the number of worker threads
capable of dispatching the application.  It can hold many more clients.

Yes, mall works, too, and you can tune a running app with some of the
knobs.  However, for arena settings, I think they must be set early on
(before many threads are spawned) to be effective.  So environment
variables (set before starting Ruby) are probably the best bet, since
Ruby (MRI) spawns a background timer thread right away.

Hello Eric,
My linux is 3.2.50, sorry my error, environment variables work fine now.

Tanks for your help
