Or you could change the number of cycle in the test if that is  
easier. For example,

if totalmem is greater than 150.0 MB for 2 cycles then restart

or just skip cycles and write

if totalmem is greater than 150.0 MB then restart

Not sure, but if mongrel memory map files it could blow up fast and  
use a lot of memory, but equally fast deflate when files are  
unmapped. If this is the case it is probably a good idea to monitor  
over a few cycles before trying a restart. Of course if it never  
deflates...
