title: Possible memory leaks on a plain jsp site
body: <p>First of all, I lie, it's not really a plain jsp website. It has a couple of pages with database access and a lucene based search engine... and around 400 standalone jsp pages.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that the admins on a production server we've not access to, say that the site is consuming too much memory (200+ Megs), and we are probably facing a memory leak, because it forces them to reboot it.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not a jsp expert, but I suspect that it's not really a memory leak, and that the database pages and the lucene search have nothing to do with this issue. I understand that each jsp page is compiled to a java class, then executed, and kept in memory for later access.</p>
  
  <p>The real question is: Can this elevated (for 400, i think yes) number of standalone jsp pages cause the memory usage to grow up to 200M?</p>
  
  <p>And if yes, how would you lower the memory usage? Using SSIs for includes (avoiding the use of jsp pages for that purpose) could be an option?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
