Except for the part where Gurupa enables scores of developers to build web apps that make hundreds of service calls yet emit results faster than the website we're using right now.

The website we're on is restarted every few days because memory leaks are hard.
It could just be that mzscheme never returns memory to the OS. Perl doesn't.
Not returning memory is different from a memory leak. Not returning memory means the memory footprint equals peak memory footprint. A memory leak is a bug in the program which causes space complexity in memory to grow unbounded. mzscheme certainly doesn't leak memory. HN leaks memory.
