[rabbitmq-discuss] memory usage reporting

Wed Apr 24 18:49:46 BST 2013

The difference is actually that my application finished starting using rabbit with R14 whereas with R15 my application didn't get to start because rabbit had reached the high watermark.

Rabbit is not the first erlang app I've seen to use large amounts of Virtual Memory when used with R15.  I am still leaning more towards R15, but haven't found any proof yet.

The status output indicates quite different application behaviour, which 
is more likely the cause of the different output than erlang versions. 
In particular, the previous report showed 1829 open sockets whereas this 
one is only showing 3.

Yes, it does. Though I'd recommend going for R16B.
