Hi Erik,

The tests were done with the official 3.8 CE release, orbeon-3.8.0.rc1.201005041622-CE.

I've not tried with a recent nightly build, but with respect all previous builds I've tried have been similarly memory intensive. I'm not sure yet what the specific bottleneck(s) are and there is obviously quite a lot of processing going on just to read from a db and process XML, but it is curious that an XPL based application (that also processes db/XML) seems  lighter on the memory footprint. It does feel rather a disproportionate overhead just to generate a few K's worth of HTML and I can't help but feel something is not quite right.

Regards,
Neil
