> Steps to Reproduce:
> 1. Create a non-compacted topic with 1 partition
> 2. Set a produce quota of 512 KB/s
> 3. Send messages at 20 MB/s
> 4. Observe heap memory growth as time progresses
> Investigation:
> While running performance tests with a user configured with a produce quota, we found that the lead broker serving the requests would exhaust heap memory if the producer sustained a inbound request throughput greater than the produce quota. 
> Upon further investigation, we took a heap dump from that broker process and discovered the ThrottledResponse object has a indirect reference to the byte[] holding the messages associated with the ProduceRequest. 
> We're happy contributing a patch but in the meantime wanted to first raise the issue and get feedback from the community.
