Thanks!

So memory use is growing when there isn't much state in the queue. Hmm. 
Maybe your broker is not GCing often enough.

Can you try editing

   /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-2.7.1/bin/rabbitmq-server

and adding

   export ERL_FULLSWEEP_AFTER=10

just before the exec erl line at the end?

Failing that, you mentioned a script you were using - does it reliably 
reproduce this behaviour? If so, would you be able to share it?

Cheers, Simon
