- 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?
