[Twisted-Python] twisted eat the memory

What version of Python are you using? 2.4 and below have problems
releasing memory back to the OS. Since Twisted apps are normally long
running Python daemons they can be more prone to memory leaks. You
need to be aware of how objects are garbage collected in Python and
rework your code if necessary.

Twisted itself should not be the source of problem.

An interesting article on the subject:
