Threaded 6.4 code compiled under 9.0 uses a lot more memory?..

How do you mean?

Hehe, more 'concern' than surprise I guess now...

The sendmail milter has grown to a SIZE/RES of 1045M / 454M under 9.0. The 
original 6.4 machine under heaver load (more connections) shows a SIZE/RES 
of 85M/52M.

The TCP listener code is now showing a SIZE/REZ of 815M/80M under 9.0 with 
the original 6.4 box showing 44M/9.5M

The 9.0 box says it has 185M active, 472M inactive, 693M wired, 543M buf, 
and 4554M free.

At this stage I'm just a bit concerned that at least the milter code is 
going to grow, and grow - and die.

I would think it would last over night so I'll see what the figures are in 
the morning.

Thanks for the replies...
