Please also note this issue has nothing to do with Rails in particular. Any large, long-running Ruby application will have this problem.

My daemon happens to be an SQS queue processing daemon but has to load much of Rails because it uses ActionMailer. I’ll probably move to merb-mailer so I can remove ActionPack.

Oh I got the impression that he was speaking about the application processes, which probably DO require ActionPack. Matt: sounds like you’re talking about long-running ruby job queue processes, which don’t need ActionPack

You could also require less of Rails by just including the absolute minimum (ActiveRecord/ActiveResource and ActiveSupport in most cases) if you’re not already, which would save some space. You normally don’t need to include what’s in ActionController et al.
