2.1 gb is the maximum the program can use since its a 32bit one. Also note that this message comes up earlier at about 1.2gb to not get into trouble of stopping projects or crashes.
I use only 80 threads and have the same problem, after few hours memory usage rises from 350 mb to 1.2 gb. Can you rise the limit to 1.5GB? Exceptions occurs after 1.6 GB so it should be safe. Maybe you can add an option of automatic restart after reaching the limit?
I'm not getting that error (because i can't reach that levels), but i do notice a rise in mb usage as time goes by, eventually hitting my 1gb limit on the vps, i have:
-> 11 projects
-> 20 private proxies
-> 50 threads
Also running CS, but the memory that uses is stable.
Yep restarting it is not the solution, program memory usage should be stable, or at least with a direct relation to the thread nr/projects , so that we know if we are indeed pushing it too much or not.
On another note, this message the OP is talking about "Too much memmory in use .." is clearly critical, it would be to nice to be able to filter the log box with error types like that (you already have the types defined with the icons), that would make it easier to analyse logs for possible trouble.
I don't have a solution for that by now, if there is any. It has something to do with virtual memory usage, I think. "Process Private" is the memory usage of all tools that running.
Oh, I just noticed that some of the momory will be recovered when it hits the bottom. But I have optimised my system two days ago and will let it run over the weekend. If its gonna be stable than I post a little guide about what could be tweaked (TCP/IP connection and virtual memory/page file).
You can scroll down to "How big should I make my paging file" to get an idea about that topic and download "Process Explorer" to determine better settings.
PS: I'm not an expert in any case, but it didn't hurt my system as well . As I said above, I need to monitor that for a few more days before I can give any recommendation about that. Maybe here is a user who has more knowledge about that topic and can give better advice.
PPS: Never touch a running system! But I for myself like to tweak a lot, hehe
GSA is eating my vps hdd, pagefile.sys is 20GB size now. Does GSA save its data to pagefile.sys ? I'm gonna clear this file and don't want to lose any projects data

How many threads + projects do you have running?
I would change thread count until the optimal setting is found (optimal for your machine)
