we´ve upgraded puppet from 0.24.8 to 0.25.5 last week, since then we
´re experiencing load/memory (and then swapping) problems. Our setup
is based on nginx (0.8.20, four worker processes) balancing to five
puppetmaster instances (servertype mongrel, package:rubygem-
mongrel-1.0.1-6.el5), hardware is one quad-core with 12 GB RAM with
approx. 500 clients (puppet runs only once a day), OS is RHEL5.5 64
Bit.

this was fine until our upgrade, but now we´re running out of memory
every morning:

Mem:  12296768k total,  9891280k used,  2405488k free,     3784k
buffers
Swap:  2096472k total,  1908084k used,   188388k free,    95972k
cached

nginx active connection peak is ~ 200, memory usage with 0.24.8 was
stable with 2-4 GB.

we´ve not changed anything within our puppet configuration, are there
any topics within
moving 0.24.x to 0.25.x which need to be reconsidered?
