In our third-party CI (IBM KVM on Power) we run both stable/mitaka and
master on Ubuntu Xenial. I went ahead and plotted dstat graphs, see
http://dal05.objectstorage.softlayer.net/v1/AUTH_3d8e6ecb-f597-448c-8ec2-164e9f710dd6/pkvmci/dstat20170202/
. It does look like there is some difference in overall memory use -
mitaka uses a bit less. This is anecdotal, but still is an extra data
point. Also note that we have 12G of ram, and we do not see oom kills.
