I know that the server uses a lot of memory, but as far as I've seen it uses 
that much right away. Are you sure that it actually _leaks_ memory?

Still, it certainly seems like a lot of memory for a scrabble server. My 
initial guess is that all the python packages it uses - zope, nevow, and 
twisted - make a rather lazy and heavy design.

Anyway, most users should not install pyscrabble-server. I think it's better 
to gather at a small number of central servers. Pyscrabble doesn't have a 
meta server like Pioneers has.
