Feature #36437
Updated by Evgeni Golov over 1 year ago
We did some testing and found that adding the --preload flag to the gunicorn execution command line for the pulpcore-content/pulpcore-api service reduces the memory overhead required by several hundred megabytes, because it is able to share more memory pages, and several copies of the pulpcore-content worker processes are active resulting in compounded gains with higher numbers of workers.

The primary downside is not relevant to the Katello use case.
