I can confirm significant Freeswitch process memory growth over time when ESL is used intensively, from 100MB in normal case to 700-900MB after few hours of high esl load, though I have no valgrind check results, as I can't do tests at production server.

With less than 300 channels in peak we have 900MB FS process size, never shrinking back :(

   Part of my code is as follows

bool CRBT::Route() {

string data = "ringback=file_string://";

data.append(FileName);

esl_execute(handle, "set", data.c_str(), NULL);

return true;

}

The OS version is Centos x86_64 6.3

The Freeswitch version is 1.2.13

Thanks for your help.
