Hi all

i hope someone could give me a clue where to investigate...

i'm running the chat_server example from boost

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/cpp03/chat/chat_server.cpp

on visual studio 2010, windows 10 and i downloaded boost binaries from :

http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0/boost_1_55_0-msvc-10.0-32.exe/download

i used a script to simulate 30 tcp clients, each thread behavior basically:

1. connect to tcp server
2. start a loop
3. send a message to tcp server
4. receive a message from tcp server
5. sleep
6. back to step 2

the strange fact is when i use windows task manager to monitor the memory consumption. The numbers from columns private working set and shared working set remains "stable" for almost 18 minutes and after that the values of private working set starts to increase almost 5 MB by minute.

So my doubts are:

1. Does anyone ever seen anything similar before?
2. What could cause this?

Regards
