I have an application that, in order to reload plugins, requires them with the :reload option whenever they are to be reloaded. I’ve noticed that this is building up memory about 2-3 megs at a time when I do it. I’m curious as to what could cause this sort of thing to happen. Is data from previous reloads being kept in memory? Is there a way to totally reload a namespace?

EDIT: It’s also relevant to mention that each of these plugins that gets reloaded makes new defmethods for a multimethod in another namespace (that never gets reloaded). Maybe the methods are being kept in memory when it’s reloaded?

    As it turns out, I didn’t test it long enough. The memory will only grow to a certain level, and then it’ll stop and eventually go back down quite a bit.

    Boys and girls: test your code before whining about bugs.
