I'm a little suspicious that the excess memory consumption is a
consequence of JIT-compiled code not getting recycled promptly.
Do you have JIT enabled, and if so are you relying on it too much
to turn it off?
I don't have any concrete idea of why JIT code management would work
fine and then stop working fine, but we do have other reports of
memory leaks from that.
