Kicking the tired? That's cruel and unusual :-)

re: ZCatalog
This rocks. It's very fast.

However, I seem to be limited by the amount of memory used by
manage_catalogFoundItems. It's memory usage seems to balloon out of
control, and never goes back to normal until restarting Zope.

Is this a memory leak, or just a consequence of the awesome indexing the
catalog is doing?

Just for kicks I loaded several MB of texts into DTML Docs and this is
where I found the memory problem. My setup is

Zope 2.0a3+ZServer+odb3+pcgi
Python 1.5.2
Linux 2.2.9/x86
