Can you spot the irony?

postnuke has officially become too bloated. I often get "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 184320 bytes) in <path to script> on line <some random number>" randomly. Could a single postnuke page request really require 8+ Mb? More than the default maximum? This is with a mostly empty implementation on a mostly idle server for which i have postnuke installed for the purpose of developing a god-forsaken postnuke module, but development has been hindered lately as half the time i get error messages related to using too much resources. And this is on a 1 Ghz, 1 Gb ram server.

cm: Thanks for the advice, I just hope it doesn't happen again.
