I had some really nasty problems with executor under linux using the
xinside. After extensive testing the xinside folks determined that the
something in executor was eating memory like crazy. It seems to me that
Thomas said something about the cursor code having memory holes. I've copied
the xinside for further comments.
The xinside folks were able to fix this on the server end with a slight
performance reduction( ~1 or 2 percent)
Sounds like the executor folks might want to pursue this further.
Comments, Jeremy?
