Hi Lukasz,

However, because of PyGCCollect() called in PyFinalize(), during interpreter shutdown the collection is done anyway, Linux does CoW and the memory usage spikes. Which is ironic on process shutdown.

Try to call os._exit() to avoid doing all this work on shutdown (after you have checked that it is indeed not doing anything interesting).

A bientôt,

Armin.
