zola: Out of memory, process killed

Machine info:

32 GB of RAM 8-core CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1270 v6 @ 3.80GHz

Running zola v0.5.0

The site I’m generating has a content directory with 105336 files, 105732 sub-folders. Almost all of the files are section markdown.

I understand this is probably not a very common use case, but hopefully will be useful for you in optimizing memory management of Zola.

dmesg -T | grep zola

Out of memory: Kill process 29015 (zola) score 908 or sacrifice child
Killed process 29015 (zola) total-vm:30630456kB, anon-rss:30549904kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB
oom_reaper: reaped process 29015 (zola), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB

Both issues should be fixed on the next branch now

Can confirm that memory usage is much much lower now. Great job!

It should be fine with 0.6.0 (currently being built). Re-open the issue if you still encounter problems!
