<PRE>'Twas brillig, and eatdirt at 09/02/13 15:18 did gyre and gimble:
&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Are you sure that there still is a problem? There were some bugs that
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> have been fixed months ago. Aside from that the memory usage could be
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> off as journal uses mmap.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But systemd always uses the journal (not runtime configurable IIRC), so
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> best to make it efficient. It should also somehow be low maintenance.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Meaning: maybe it will use less memory when there is less available
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> (guessing)?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I don't know about mmap, but that's what a top gives on the current cooker:
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i>  326 root       1   0 1064m  37m  36m S    0  1.9   0:14.73 systemd-journal
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> even though it is only virtual, that's sound crazy to go up 1GB.
</I>&gt;<i> rsyslog never goes above 1M.
</I>
The virtual size is more or less irrelevant for judging how much memory
it actually uses. In some cases it does help identify some leaks (tho'
not classic memory leaks - more mmap leaks - found and fixed one of
those a while back).

It is a little higher than I'd expect all the same tho'. I'll double
check that no regressions have snuck in on the mmap window caching stuff.
