[SR-Users] Free size of shared memory falls to near zero during the load testing

Andrey,
Can you please run “kamcmd tm.stats” and check the values. I have a similar problem and see clearly
a lot of transactions not being freed, eating up memory and ending with out of memory messages in the log.
Have an open issue about it in the bug tracker.
