WMS Performance degrades after >20000 requests served
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3600
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3600
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC2
         Environment: tomcat6, ubuntu, java 1.6, AMD 2 core, 6GB ram, postgisng 
and also on macosx budle, postgisng (macports), 
            Reporter: Thomas
            Assignee: Andrea Aime


I tested tile generation on maxosx and tomcat6/LINUX (2GB java heap) in both 
cases I used the system to generate 300000 tiles sequentially from postgis over 
the whole map in different zooms. Somehow GeoServer leaks memory and fills up 
the 2GB heap. If that happens, WMS tile generation speed drops slowly down 
from, for example, 100 per minute to 5 per minute but still uses 100% CPU. At 
that point most of the java memory is full.

Speed can be reclaimed temporarily (about 20000 more tiles) by going to the 
Status page and clearing the Resource Cache followed by several clicks on Free 
Memory. If memory congestion is too bad, the Status page takes forever to open 
and resetting memory becomes difficult. Geoserver needs intervention about 
every 30 minutes to 1h depending on available memory.

A workaround would be an automated way to invoke these cleanup functions after 
a specific number of requests.
