[SR-Users] Kamailio 4.0.4 slow memory leak

Looking at the logs, there are 1336 URIs, which seems ok given your 
numbers, because the module keeps also the previous set of records 
(needed because at reload time there can be kamailio worker processes 
using the records -- perhaps we can improve a bit here, I will review 
the current reload code a bit, since it was a contribution from another 
developer quite long time ago).

Some more questions:
- how many destination sets (groups) do you have? Can you estimate the 
minimum and maximum addresses in a set?
- when did you take the memory log? In other words, for how long was 
kamailio running? Did you wait enough to notice the steady increase of 
memory usage?

Cheers,
Daniel
