Linux feather 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3 =

This excessive memory consumption was seen on 3 machines, all of which =
run Debian. All three machines run p2pool as well as bitcoind. Two run =
XT, one runs Core.

I can't afford to do that. All of the servers I have are being used for =
something. Also, I'm not sure what it is you're trying to test for with =
that suggestion. The numbers I'm reporting are for bitcoind's resident =
set, not for the whole server's memory usage. I don't see how other =
processes running on the same machine are relevant unless you are =
suggesting that RPC calls (e.g. getblocktemplate) might be somehow =
responsible.

Not relevant. I addressed this message to both the Core and XT lists =
because the issue appears to affect both forks. Let's keep blocksize and =
governance debates to their own threads, please.

Repeating request: Has anyone else seen something similar? Can you =
report your mempool size and total bitcoind resident set size for your =
running full nodes?
