I have a number of (admittedly) ancient Netgear WGT634U's in the field
doing duty as free-wifi hotspots. Recent builds of our standard set
of tools have become unhappy in the last year or so. For example,
here are the RES memory sizes of processes on our workload, comparing
r37911 (current) with r34240 (circa Nov 18, 2012):
r37911 r34240

------------- -----------------
15956 14048
Today's resident size is almost 2 megabytes larger than a year ago,
even after a substantial improvement in the openvpn size (I switched
to polarssl).
Admittedly, the numbers are just a convenience sample (r37911 just
booted, r34240 has been up for 44 days) and might not be a fair
comparison in all cases. But, the direction here seems to be making
the WGT634U less viable for us.
Are these numbers illuminating at all?
