What do you use to monitor your clients and how much RAM does it use? I have five clients to monitor and both FAHMon and FAHSpy can easily use >500MB of RAM!

Out of interest, which projects are you currently running? I know some of the SMP projects have 250,001 or 249,999 steps (as opposed to 250,000), which for some reason makes the log file huge (~250mb). When fahmon (i have never used fah spy, so could not give any onfo here) reads this file for updates, it loads the file into the ram. For me this gave huge spikes in the ram usage corresponding to the time of the fahmon updates. Maybe this is the same issue you are seeing. Other than that, i have not seen fahmon use excessive quantities of RAM - are you using the latest version?

Two GPU2 clients and three Linux SMP clients. The actual FAHlog.txt files being read are all no larger than 100Kb so I don't see how it can be that yet the memory usage can gets so high it causes swapping of the Linux VMs! And that essentially frezes the computer til it's finished!
So I've just reloaded FAHMon and has a current memory usage of 4848K but a peak Mem usage of 675828Kb!!
