[Mono-list] Per-process memory overhead

Hello.

I'm looking to use mono for some dbus bridges with dbus-sharp. I've got a
pretty simple bridge, a couple of classes and a single dbus interface that
bridges to a socket in a console application. It looks like each instance
has ~14MB of memory overhead, from smem output:

30038 cmorgan  mono display_interface.exe         0    16792    19650
 23488

So, 16.7MB USS, 19.65MB PSS and 23.48MB RSS.

Using mono 3.4 on Fedora 20.


I ran the alloc profiler on the application and it looks like there was
some 700k of memory allocated in the application itself, quite small
compared to the process memory.

I'd like to be able to use mono to create a dozen or more of these dbus
bridges but the embedded arm system I'm using only has 512MB of ram.

I haven't tested on the arm platform yet, but I'm assuming a similar amount
of overhead for each process.

Is this a normal amount of overhead per-process? Thoughts on how I might be
able to reduce it?

Chris
