Do you have psyco installed? I recently disabled psyco
support, because it is not stable, resulting in segmentation
faults and perhaps also leaking memory.

Just read an interesting article at http://evanjones.ca/python-memory.html
Basically it says Python never releases memory once it is
allocated :/
So it more of an upstream issue than with webcleaner, but I
keep this bug open as a reminder.

summary: memory leak --> [Python bug] WebCleaner process never frees memory
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Anyway, Webcleaner (python) process doesn't release memory
(as it keeps increasing from 30MB to 72MB in a day).
I've added garbage collect call inside a timer and the
situation improved (30MB to 60MB in a day), but still leaks.

Could you check if there are some circular references in the
code that could explain this behaviour ?
Please have a look here:

I don't understand the code well enough to be able to change
anything based on the report of the tools.
