(Get the code!)
The memory jump is generally fairly sudden and quite rapid, as seen from ~ minute to minute.
a given process will be happily doing it's thing for a while (== minutes) then within 120 seconds has gone from ~ 500Mb RSS, to 5+ Gb RSS.
A longer history look (ifs buts maybes here) over ~ 9300 records of the sendbranchmail script tells us:
~ 97.5% of the time, it's using < 300Mb RSS.
~ 2% of the time, it's using > 1Gb RSS, most of which is > 2Gb.
be ware as I'd suggest that those higher numbers are slanted by the bigger gobbles running for longer periods; also the lower ones slanted in their favour by multiple attempts to startup when a gobbling is in progress.
Not sure if this'll help in *solving* but perhaps in defining the impact. :-)
