I tested the following 10 versions of opensim built for the OSgrid.
The times are from the monitor program "monit",and are the uptime.
The test process was;
Place a fresh copy of opensim as distributed, copy the needed .ini files
into the simulator,
Restart the region. (This causes "monit" to detect a new PID and resets
it's "uptime" to be zero)
7 minute tick, login with "coolvl" with standard unscripted avatar, record
metrics.
10 minute tick, log off, record metrics.
15 minute tick record metrics.
The 7 minute tick metrics represents the IDLE usage of a freshly started
and
un-visited region.
(the reason for waiting 7 minutes was to give ample time to compile the
626
scripts as an initial load)
The 10 minute tick metrics represents the usage after an avatar has logged
in and been on the region for approximately 3 minutes.
The 15 minute tick represents the usage 5 minutes after an avatar has left
the region and no other usage of the region has taken place.

Additional comments:
This problem appeared for me in the May 7, 2015 OSgrid release build. It
is
present in the latest build which was May 23, 2015.
The initial IDLE memory appears to be nearly the same for all versions
tested.
Prior to the May 7th release memory usage fluctuated very little when
avatars came and went.
After the May 7 release memory usage goes up dramatically, for EACH avatar
that arrives and does not go back down.
There was a change on how memory is used between the May 9 and May 23
builds. The first builds used the memory much faster, and CPU usage would
rise quickly last for a short time and then drop back down.
In the May 23 release, CPU usage goes up much higher, holds at that high
usage level much longer but does drop back to the "idle" level. Memory is
slower to be increased, but still rises to over double that of the idle
rate
and does not drop back to the idle level ever.
The value of AppDomainLoading has been set to "false" in the OSgrid builds
for all the builds distributed this year that I have, that is what all of
my
tests were run with.
However reading that parameter it reads to me that having it set to FALSE
would cause this exact problem.
That does not explain why it never caused this problem prior to the May
7th
build.
I have "monit" configured to allow both memory and CPU usage to go over a
set limit but if it remains above that limit for longer than what I
believe
to be a reasonable time, in my case 3 minutes, it will restart the region.
From 2011 until May 7th 2015 it was rare any of my regions were restarted
by
"monit". After the May 9th release "monit" would restart my regions as
soon
as any avatar visited it. I had set the memory limit to be 1.3GB prior to
May 7th. Now setting it at 5GB still results in some regions restarting a
few times every day.
Until the May 9th release none of my four servers had ever used the swap
file. Now the usage of the swap file is in the mid 20%. Lag has become a
problem on my regions, and system CPU usage is much higher than it ever
was
prior to the May 7th release.
To suggest nothing is wrong with whatever was done to opensim between the
March release I tested and the May 7th release is very difficult to
accept.
If the only problem was higher CPU usage I would accept it, but since
performance and reliability have also been diminished this is not
something
that can be ignored.
Memory that gets used and not released is not a good thing. This is
happening across three released of Fedora linux. Fedora 19, 20, and 21,
on
four different servers.
I do not know if I should report this in mantis . Usually when I report
something it is already being worked on under some other report using
language I would not think to search on.

Is very important the difference.

Very interesting. My setup is quite different in that I do not run the
grid
but rather use the OSgrid. I only run the regions. That could be a huge
difference. However since OSgrid is officially designated as the
"opensim"
test grid, I would hope the developers are serious about the results
people
are having who use that grid.
I am in the process of trying to discover exactly when this problem
started
for me as was earlier requested.
The different versions I can test with are these releases from OSgrid:
osgrid-opensim-01162015.v0.8.1.97ac80d
osgrid-opensim-01172015.v0.8.1.1f04e1b
osgrid-opensim-02212015.v0.8.1.7b9ad11
osgrid-opensim-03142015.v0.8.1.8b13e4e
osgrid-opensim-03172015.v0.8.2.83e58eb
osgrid-opensim-04052015.v0.8.2.8d66284
osgrid-opensim-04122015.v0.8.2.d96d31b
osgrid-opensim-05072015.v0.8.2.c74cef0
osgrid-opensim-05092015.v0.8.2.adf0f49
osgrid-opensim-05232015.v0.8.2.abb3bb6
Later today I will cycle all of these releases on one of my regions and
run
a test using "monit" with my original parameters set to see which version
it
was that started using so much simulator memory. The change control on
my
home network is not near as professional as what I lived with at IBM for
31
years. Now I depend on my own memory. That is not a very good choice in
my
case. Luisillo's testing was far more accurate with excellent metrics to
compare. Bravo.

https://www.jetbrains.com/dotmemory/ dotmemory has been relatively
successful at identifying memory issues in the past.
That said, it's not free and there may be free alternatives..... but be
advised you want one that supports managed memory... and one that
works
well with Mono.Addins. Many free ones in the past have had issues
dynamically loading modules with Mono.addins. If the modules are not
loaded, you will see the server come up with no regions and it will be
pretty useless for testing. Testing physics is a bit harder because it
is
both managed and unmanaged... so you'll need to examine the pinned
memory.
Also, note that while running the simulator in a profiler such as
dotMemory,
it will run noticeably slower depending on how you do the profiling.

The memory consumption is troubling.
It seems to be an cross platform issue, it happens on linux, mac and
also
windows.
The script engine can be responsible for the skyrocketing of the memory
usage when an avatar enters the region.
The inventory system is also called as a possible suspect.
Also the physics system can be un issuer.
This throws up a question, how can the memory usage be broken down, to
see
what part is to blame ?
