The memory is released immediately, however don't be fooled by Linux, it
will
only do the mem consolidate when it needs to, so the process will 'look'
bloated
even though it is not.
It is more efficiently for the OS to only return the mem when required
to do so.

When a queue backs up (substantially) and then eventually is read by a

We've noticed Qpid consuming 100's of MB of memory even though their are no
queued messages, the only explanation we can formulate is that the queue
depths were high at one point and then that footprint was never released.
