   ATS in 8.1.1 uses a freelist and will  on free() or give back memory to the system. You can disable the freelist and use the memory allocator from the system's or compile in support for jemalloc by adding -F to proxy.config.proxy_binary_opts in records.config.

   In 8.1.1 you can dump the memory allocation by sending SIGUSR1 to the process and a report will be generated in traffic.out. This might help to tell you where memory is being allocated.
