High memory usage in LS compared to Passenger/Mongrel etc

[subBlue]

Any thoughts on the benchmarks posted over here?

Litespeed seems to be using significantly more memory than all the other configurations.

Yes, they certainly can make it looks even worse.

You can ask them to run LiteSpeed under Ruby Enterprise and configure LiteSpeed not to start that many ruby processes, at least make it matching the number of ruby processes started in all other tests.

Also have LiteSpeed pre-start the parent ruby process.

The problem seems to be that it is not possible to tell LSWS exactly what you want. If I configure a number of processes, autostart, no max requests, no timout, I still see processes randomly getting started and killed.
