I have the same issue. I have about 100 clients running Boinc here at work.
After about a month they all are consuming about 1GB of memory. I scheduled a
task that re-starts the boinc service every day.
Here is the batch file to create that task:
:: Setup
:: On some machines the schtasks command is not found when launched from
:: a network script so we have to use the full path.
@set SCHTASKS=%WINDIR%\system32\schtasks
:: Set a task to re-start BOINC everyday and prevent high memory consumption.
@echo Creating BOINC re-start task ...
@set BOINCTASKNAME="Boinc Service Restart"
@%SCHTASKS% /Delete /F /TN %BOINCTASKNAME% >> NUL 2>&1
@%SCHTASKS% /Create /RU system /SC daily /ST 12:35:00 /TN %BOINCTASKNAME% /TR
"%WINDIR%\system32\cmd.exe /C net stop Boinc & net start Boinc"
Regards,
Patricio.

Re: [boinc_dev] Clear event log
functionality in client
The log is supposed to roll at a user specified size. If I recall
correctly, it defaults to 10 MB.

How about a Clear Log Button and functionality in the Event Log window?
If BOINC is running for a long time the log consumes a lot of memory:

That's 1.5GB!
