Comment #1 on issue 162 by trond.norbye: Starting memcached from cron or
sudo eats 1.5GB Virtual Memory
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=162
I tried to reproduce this on Solaris, but I failed..
from ./memcached:
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
29112 trond 4324K 2676K sleep 59 0 0:00:00 0,0% memcached/6
from ./memcached -u nobody:
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
29117 nobody 4392K 2740K sleep 59 0 0:00:00 0,0% memcached/6
I assume that the small increase here is caused caused by calling the
password functions.
Could you try to provide the address mappings from your application?
