Considering the below explanation, an idle (not going to receive
    more messages the next 7 days) imrelp rsyslog...shouldn't memory
    be freed from current 512MB usage in the near future?


For the scenario I have described: no, as long as the high address memory block is allocated, nothing is freed. Not even after 70 days of idleness ;-)


    You mentioned forcing each 100.000 messages, but that's never
    gonna happen if we are still at 20k, and no more messages coming.


right
Isn't that an undesired behavior?
A process should release unused/unneeded memory, shouldn't it? (Maybe not "immediately", but sooner than "ever"!)
