Guys,

as you know I am performing a set of volume tests on OpenCA 0.9.2 RC6 (recent CVS). My first set of tests are volume testing the batch processor (i.e. seeing how the performance varies with batch size). I have noticed this:

As the batch size gets bigger, the time to complete the batch increases in a non linear mannor. some examples are:

100 batch       2 minutes 11 seconds
1000 batch      33 minutes 22 seconds
3000 batch      3 hours 30 minutes 43 seconds

I suspected that this was a memory issue, i.e. the server process not giving up it's memory, this was confirmend when I tried a batch of 10,000 and got the following error after 8085 items in the create_cert function:

New statemachine cycle at Tue Aug 31 13:11:46 2004 UTC ...
The function create_cert

There is a problem with function create_cert for process keys of user
p98KfYKP_8085.

Cannot issue the certificate (6761). Error while issuing Certificate to
p98KfYKP_8085 (filename: /usr/local/volume_ca/openca/var/tmp/1FA4.req).

OpenCA::OpenSSL returns errocode 7731075 (OpenCA::OpenSSL->issueCert:
OpenSSL fails (7777030). Cannot start OpenSSL shell. (Cannot allocate
memory)).

Looking at the SAR output the machine is running at 99% memory usage during these tests.

I would be very interested in your comments on this.

Chris...
