Sorry for the delay...

We've several shibboleth-sp machines under high load.
We've used the default library versions for the shibboleth-sp software:
log4cpp-0.3.5rc1
opensaml-1.1a
shibboleth-sp-1.3f
xerces-c-src_2_6_1
xml-security-c-1.2.1

Here is an excerpt of the output of `ps` on different production systems 
running on :

USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      9413  2.4  1.7 2384304 139048 pts/1 S   11:00   4:40 
/usr/sbin/shibd -p /var/run/shibd.pid -f
root      8025  2.8  1.6 2338276 133784 pts/0 S   11:01   5:21 
/usr/sbin/shibd -p /var/run/shibd.pid -f
root      8138  2.6  1.5 2459420 120068 pts/1 S   10:56   5:04 
/usr/sbin/shibd -p /var/run/shibd.pid -f
root     23284  2.2  1.4 2358484 113704 pts/2 S   11:00   4:14 
/usr/sbin/shibd -p /var/run/shibd.pid -f

As you can see, each process uses more than 2GB virtual memory size.

We are forced to restart the proces each day, so the memory is made free.

Any help or debugging information is kindly appreciated.
