It would be a possibility if the amount of wasted memory was not tied
directly to the amount of messages processed. I got only 17MB (not a
typo) with 1000 messages.

No, the only time it was turned off was in
http://rabbit.us/pool/misc/dbmail_bug584_memcheck_svn2574_always_malloc.tar.bz2,
everything else was with the thing turned on.

I heavily modified the script, now it runs 6 tests total - with 1000
2000 and 3000 messages, both with and without the allocator. Memory
consumption is logged also at 10 second intervals. It is running right
now but will take quite a while, I should have result around 1pm CET.
Since the amount of data keeps growing, would you like me to compress
the thing with rar, or a larger bzip2 is preferable? Or do I scrap the
level 5 logs altogether?

Thanks

Peter
