Description
Lodestar nodes show a significant difference between the process resident set or total process memory and the total heap size. As far as I'm concerned, there's no other large memory item that could justify a 500MB difference
This issue is to track research into what could cause this difference:
- [x] Worker threads: I've disabled all workers (second part of the chart above) and while the total process size is slightly lower the difference is roughly the same
- [ ] ??
