Description Shlomi Fish 2012-10-02 13:14:32 CEST 
Description of problem:

When my Core i3 system with 8 GB of RAM boots, systemd-journald consumes less than 1% of RAM. The more it runs, the more RAM it consumes until now with:

 13:12:51 up 1 day, 13:05,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.26, 0.71

It consumes 3.8% of my 8GB of RAM (3748MB VIRT 303MB RES , 303M SHR), so I guess it leaks a lot of RAM. It consumes less RAM after a reboot.

Please look into fixing it.

Regards,

OK, now it consumes no less than 5.1% of my 8GB of RAM. Four hundred million kilobytes should be enough for everybody? Ha!
