[mv] Re: MV 4.04a - Memory usage

[Jim Toro <jimtoro@hoflink.com>]

I have been working on a simple database of products for one of my
customers and the database is only about 800 items.  However when the
following search is processed.

   [page search="
	sf=category
	tf=title
	se=[cat-data cat selector]
	ml=7
	va=perf_group=[cat-data cat selector]
	"
       ]<center><IMG SRC="[cat-data cat linkimage]" ALT="[cat-data cat
name]" BORDER=0></center>[/page]

It will get an internal server error if I allow the ML=  line to be above
7.  When the search is done there are 490 out of the total of 800 items
found in this search.

When it was alot less hits (say 200) I could have the ML= set up to
about 20.  When the hits  got to around 400 it had to be brought down
to ML=11 or so.  Now its got to be at ML=7.  As I add more items the ML=
needs to be lower and lower but it seems this is dependant on the hits
found. Any other search where the hits are low, I can set the ML much
higher.

Anyone know why this would be happening.  MV seems to eat tons of ram when
it is doing this.  Is there something I can edit in catalog.cfg or
something else to make it use less ram.  I cant figure out why it would be
eating this much ram and dying PLUS why the ML= must be set so low.

I am running MV 4.04a, BSDI 3.1, Apache 1.3.12 on a Pentium 266 with
128megs ram.  System runs flawlessly with everything else.
