Odd SLP memory allocations
I've noticed some really odd memory allocations for SLP on the cluster nodes. As in, really odd.
That's a lot of memory! By comparison, one of the two SLPDA's has all of 36736 bytes allocated to it. The DA itself is around 1MB. We don't have a lot of objects. What the heck is it doing with all that memory? I'm sure this is a contributing factor to our on-going memory allocation problems. What is clear is that any node that has been up for long enough (looks to be a week) has north of 400MB allocated to it.
I'll probably be opening an incident on this one next week, once finals are over and I can reboot things willy nilly for things like core dumps.
We haven't gone to SP6 yet, so I made a point of checking SP6 for any SLP updates. There are none, so with luck I can deflect the, "upgrade to SP6 and call back," request that will happen when I call in.
