Description of problem:

The memory usage of dynflow_executor continues to grow over time.
As a conequence of this, operations like content view publishes
take longer and longer to complete.

Restarting the Satellite improves the performance, which then
continues to degrade over time

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

6.1.3, 6.1.4

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Satellite
2.
3.

Actual results:

dynflow_executor memory usage continues to grow over time

Expected results:

memory usage should be reach a steady state and rise and
fall as work is done.

Additional info:

I used the following script to collect process mem stats
every 15 minutes

#!/bin/bash

LOGFILE=/var/log/dynflow_executor-memory-usage.log
PID=`pidof dynflow_executor`
cat /proc/$PID/status | grep ^Vm >> $LOGFILE

The I can review the VmPeak, VmData etc sizes.

The only time these figures go down is on a process restart.
