Thank you to anyone who has already donated - your generous donations helped make three months of treatment possible.

My brother Nate continues to fight stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma. He's just 31, with a wife and baby girl. They have no active income (since he's been unable to return to work), no insurance, and cannot afford the treatment he needs. Nate and his family need your help. Please consider a donation, every dollar helps. Thanks.



			
# WARNING: New MRI releases are leaking memory in trivial Rails apps
# Wed Jul  2 15:15:09 PDT 2008

# Ruby version          Memory  Trend
#---------------------------------------
# 1.8.6p111 Ubuntu      37MB    Stable
# 1.8.6p230 Smartleaf   61MB    Climbing
# 1.8.6p238 SVN         62MB    Climbing

# To demonstrate this, create a minimal Rails application and use 
# the ApacheBench (ab) tool to generate traffic against it.

# 1. Install dependencies
gem install rails -v=2.1.0 --no-ri --no-rdoc
gem install sqlite3-ruby mongrel --no-ri --no-rdoc

# 2. Create Rails application
rails sample
pushd sample
rm public/index.html
./script/generate scaffold thing
rake RAILS_ENV=production db:migrate

# 3. Watch memory consumption in another terminal
watch -n1 'ps aux | egrep "mongrel|PID" | egrep -v egrep'

# 4. Perform test
mongrel_rails start --environment production --port 4444 --daemonize
ab -c 10 -n 10000 http://localhost:4444/things

# 5. Review memory consumption readings and stop mongrel
mongrel_rails stop
