-Why is Django leaking memory?
------------------------------
-
-Django isn't known to leak memory. If you find your Django processes are
-allocating more and more memory, with no sign of releasing it, check to make
-sure your :setting:`DEBUG` setting is set to ``False``. If :setting:`DEBUG`
-is ``True``, then Django saves a copy of every SQL statement it has executed.
-
-(The queries are saved in ``django.db.connection.queries``. See
-:ref:`faq-see-raw-sql-queries`.)
-
-To fix the problem, set :setting:`DEBUG` to ``False``.
