ramblings about RAM use, what's your experience?

[schildbach]

Until a couple of weeks ago, I was able to run certspotter (default config, monitoring one domain including subdomains) with a Docker RAM limit of 0.75 GB. This changed somehow: at this day and with recent version 0.24.2 not even 1.2 GB are enough. It fills up within 2-3 minutes and then the main process exits with error code 0 (according to Docker).

I wonder:

1. How much RAM does it use on your system (you can use docker stats to check)?
2. If at all, what RAM limit do you use?
3. Is the increase caused by the number of CT logs, or the new static format they've been switched to?
4. Is it perhaps caused by a regression in a recent version of certspotter, e.g. non-optimal use of RAM or memory leak?

Depending on the outcome, I think maybe a section about hardware requirements should be added to the docs. 1 GB of RAM is a serious demand that should be mentioned, I'd say.
