UnverifiedOn a single-core server with 2 GB of memory, run only one process at a time, call gc.collect() to free memory after each asset is processed, and measure peak RSS rather than average usage with resource.getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss.66% similarPartially Verifiedresource.getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss returns on Linux the peak resident memory of the current process since startup, in kilobytes; monitoring peak RSS is more effective at preventing OOM than monitoring the average.64% similarUnverifiedPeak RSS is a metric of the physical memory a process actually occupies, and ru_maxrss records the maximum resident set size reached during the process's lifetime.62% similarUnverifiedCalling gc.collect() after processing each asset forces Python's garbage collection to trigger, promptly freeing objects no longer in use and effectively lowering peak memory.62% similar
