Hey Jeff. You have GC logging enabled? Might not tell you more than you already know, that something is retaining more and more objects over time. You have a dumped heap? What have you used to poke at it? You generally want to find the objects that have the deepest size (Not all profilers let you do this though). This is usually enough to give you a clue. Anything particular about the character of your load? Ram asks if any big cells in the mix? St.Ack > At this point I feel somewhat lost as to how to debug the problem.
