You're probably doing something that is causing certain variables to have
temporarily large values. As always, start with the guide:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/performance.html#Memory_leakage
You should also make sure you're doing the usual pre-loading and other
suggestions from this section of the guide. You may find the section in
the camel book on optimizing for size useful as well.
