[output received off-list - thanks]

The memory is taken up by the mirror queue slave Erlang process.

How many messages were in the queue at the time?

Also, what memory limit does rabbit report in its log?

Are both nodes configured as disk nodes?

You mentioned that acks are batched; what is the batch size?

You mentioned that publishers use 'confirms'. Do they wait for 
confirmation after every message, after some batch of messages, or do 
they let confirms stream in completely independently?

I have so far failed to reproduce your observations locally. Is there 
any chance you could give us access to the slave machine?

Regards,

Matthias.
