These changes aim to reduce the memory (RSS) footprint of a bundle import, particularly the high-water-mark.
While I was able to clean up some leaking references in earlier pull requests (x, y), that wasn't enough to significantly bring down max. memory usage.
At some point I discovered that re-setting the Plone site using the
getSite()
hook finally manages to get rid of those leaking references, and allows the Python garbage collector to do its job. In addition, thecPickleCache
also needs to be garbage collected periodically.So, in regular intervals the following things need to happen:
I can't yet say what exact impact the interval has, and whether this is the optimal order, but at least the first three need to happen in order to get a significant reduction in the memory high-water-mark.
