Most of the time we use LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) but we also have applications on ROR / Mongrel. – Aditya Jul 18 '09 at 04:48

Might want to make the title more similiar to the first line... unless you are worried there might be a web application in your memory leaks :) – Chris Arguin Jul 18 '09 at 06:17

Which platform are you developing on? This makes all of the difference in the world. A webapp done in Django/Python is going to test a lot differently than an ASP.NET site. You're better off searching for profiling tools based on the platform you're developing for.

for php, you can use xdebug and kcachegrind.
