Hi all! I'm using pound on a high traffic site with over 30 million daily hits (~750000 unique ip's) using three backends and session (cookie) persistence with a TTL of 900 seconds. Pound (tried both version 2.5 and 2.6a) is installed on a dedicated linux server (kernel 2.6.28) with 8Gb of RAM and 1Gb of swap. I notice pound's memory usage increases daily until filling all swap space (vm.swappiness is set to 10) after about a week:
# ps aux|grep pound nobody 17623 0.0 0.0 50040 300 ? Ss Sep09 0:00 /usr/sbin/pound -f /etc/pound.cfg -p /var/run/pound.pid nobody 17626 16.3 32.9 3518264 2692924 ? Sl Sep09 1875:30 /usr/sbin/pound -f /etc/pound.cfg -p /var/run/pound.pid As you can see it's using over 3.5Gb of virtual memory and still increasing... As workaround I can restart pound periodically but i wonder if there is something wrong that can be fixed. Please let me know if you need more information about this issue.
