[plt-scheme] Massive memory consumption

Hi,

I am having some concerns after reading this thread.   We are developing 
an application that uses the PLT web server that is schedules to go live 
by then end of the year and we are relying heavily on continuations.

My first question is if there any specific guidelines on using 
continuations that will minimize memory consumptions?

I was also wondering if anybody had any recommendations on how to use 
the PLT web server in a production environment.

To specifically address memory consumption we are considering rebooting 
the PLT Web server process once a day.   Will this help reduce memory 
consumptions and improve stability?   Do I need to reboot the server and 
not just the PLT Web server process?

I was also wondering if there was any way that I can detect if the PLT 
web server has any open sessions ?  I do not want to restart the process 
or server if there are any active sessions.

Thanks for any help,
Arend
