Yikes!
Holy speculation, Batman!
Thanks, but no thanks! Guys, this is nice and all, but you're guessing way
off in left field. On the pages I was talking about, the actual webpage is
not held in memory -- ever -- it's written directly to a buffered, blocking
I/O socket as soon as it's generated. It's not stored anywhere on the server
-- not on disk, not in memory, even temporarily. What I was referring to that
was being held in memory for 200 seconds was some non-HTML data structures.
Their size isn't an insane size, but an uncomfortable and somewhat wasteful
size. Breaking that bottleneck has about as much to do with style sheets as
a floormat has to do with salad dressing.
