I think I experince the same.

I'm running a live webcam chat.  It's all published lived and not recorded.

At first everything is working fine, but after a while (hours?) , the 
stream freezes. Also for a few seconds and then resumes. Even if red5 is 
only taking up less than 1mbit of bandwidth.

It also takes up more and more memory. appserver-33 ?

After I restart red5, it works fine again for a while. So at the moment 
I restart red5 when no one is online :p

I'm running red5 0.6 rc1 on redhat enterprise 4, 2gb ram, 2 x 3.2ghz 
cpu's , java1_5

Regard,
Klaus
