Loteckal · 04-12-2015, 08:28 AM

Hi there

I'm running calibre-server (2.24) on a shared hosting enviroment (centos). Main drawback is that I can only use a limited amount of memory and sure I'm not root, but can compile applications. The normal "calibre-server" consume < 100MB (RES), for the ebook-convert I would like to stay under 200MB memory.

I also wanted to fetch some recipes and send them to my kindle. but the memory usage (ebook-convert) is above my limit. It goes up to 300-400MB easily and for the "New York Times" recipe ebook-convert uses around 1'141MB.

I guess this is not fixable (without rewrite the ebook-convert itself)- but would like to get some feedback from others.

bye
