I have no idea, I am completely baffled. I really want to try without the node_redis library and do it all in memory, keeping the Array of elements in the returned list at less than 1000.

UPDATE: I should also mention, if you look at the charts, there's a point in time which the CPU hits 99%-100% and it's always reproducible. Once the CPU hits 100% I have just sat back and watched the memory get chewed up.

I'm sure someone w/ more experience than me can probably debug what's going on. The code is there, I really hope someone else can take a look at it. As my friend mentioned, it's reproducible, it can be fixed.

Don't know if you'll see this, but as someone playing with both node and erlang, I'd love to hear more about your erlang setup (and your blog was down earlier when I looked).

The way that SyncPad was prototyped was using PHP/MySQL. I ported that to using Mochiweb. I manage all of the queuing of messages through a relatively straight forward OTP gen_server and Redis.
