Has anyone ever done a memory profiling of litecoind to see where all the memory is being used?

There is the -dbcache= parameter - the database cache size in MB, default 25 - but even I reduced this down to 1, it'd only reduce litecoind usage from 30% to 26%. Running 0.6.3c-beta.

Have you tried the newer (0.6) version of Litecoin?

Maybe something to do with all that transaction spam we had a while ago?

LOL
I install it again in another machine and all seems to work now but, that Litecoin is still very slow...
I complete guess that there is some problem with libdb...
My machine with slow Litecoin have libdb from "Ubuntu repository" and, my machine with fast Litecoin have those packages (libdb) from "Ubuntu PPA Bitcoin"... For example, my Litecoin P2Pool node is fast!
This is a complete guess and I was unable to reproduce it (no time)...
Thanks!

Very odd, noticed you haven't got any replies yet. Did you find a solution?

Guys,
My litecoind consumes a lot of memory... And it is much more slower than bitcoind and namecoind... But why?!
I'm using litecoin compiled from sources, "git pull" is up to date.
Look:
The Litecoin daemon consumes 31.2% of RAM memory!
And it is very, very, veeery slow... Look:
8 minutes do getbalance from litecoind!!! WTF?!
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 32 bits.
Cheers!
