Ubuntu VM Resource leakage about cacti HOT 5 CLOSED

I am running our current Quorum network (v2.1.1, 4 nodes) for 16 hours at Ubuntu 16.04 vm with 4 cpu and 6 Gb RAM. Now htop shows that CPU cores are uniformly 10-40% busy (with spikes to 70%). Memory consumption is 1.87 - 1.92 Gb and stays constantly in this range.
Going to try the latest Quorum (v2.3.0) sample-network to see if it is less resource-greedy.

Reproduction:

• Examples/Simple Asset Quorum
• npm quorum
• observe resource spiking

Is it "default" behavior with Quorum? Can this be validated by running less nodes e.g. 4 as default v0.1?

@denis-yu-glotov will check resources pre-post run to validate.

For Quorum v2.3.0, 4 nodes, same other factors, after 45 minutes of running I see memory consumption 1.55 - 1.7 Gb, CPU cores are busy for 20-70% uniformly.

Thank you for the investigation @denis-yu-glotov
Issue must be on my side. Best guess is that it's specific to how Hyper-V manages RAM for the VM.
For me RAM usage shoots up to 20+GB in a matter of minutes just by having npm run corda and the CPUs are pegged at a solid 100% usage constantly. Will try to look for other culprits in my own setup, but it's clear that Corda is not at fault.

Final note about Quorum 2.3.0 after 20 hours, memory consumption is 1.67 - 1.72 Gb. So from this side, it is not significantly better, then our current Quorum 2.1.1. Although I noticed that tessera (v0.10.0) has started significantly faster then ours (v0.7.3). So it is good to upgrade although not a first priority.
