We updated Jenkins to 1.542 two days ago (from 1.514) and we're getting a 
lot of OOM errors. (info: Windows server 2008 R2, Jenkins JVM is jdk-x64-1.6
.0_26)

At first I did the simplest thing and increased the heap from 3G to 4.2G 
(and bumped up permgen).  This didn't help so I started looking at threads 
via the Jenkins monitoring tool.  It indicated the disk-usage plugin was 
hung.  When you tried to view a page for a particularly large job, the page 
would "hang" and the stack trace showed the disk-usage plugin was to blame 
(or so I thought).  Jira report with thread dump here: 
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-20876

We disabled the disk-usage plugin and restarted and now we can visit that 
job page.  However, we still get OOM and lots of GCs in the logs at least 
once a day.  The stack trace looks frighteningly similar to that from the 
disk-usage plugin.  Here is an edited stack trace showing the methods 
common between the two OOM incidents: one during the disk-usage plugin and 
one after it was disabled:

It seems something in "core" Jenkins has changed and not for the better. 
 Anyone seeing these issues?
