I reported the issue back in August 2011 so it was the Boinc Client 6.12.33. The
issue happened when connected to our high-workunit volume project. When
connected only to Seti the memory grow was very slow.
I will do a test with the latest client and report back.
Regards,
Patricio.

RE: [boinc_dev] Clear event log
functionality in client
Are these with the latest clients? Or older versions? Which projects
are you attached too?
This sounds like a memory leak of some sort.
John is right that the core client limits the number of log entries at
2000, cycles the log file at 2MB. We found and fixed a bug where the
logs were not being cycled correctly, but this sounds like a whole
different beast.

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

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!
