I was using jiffy to decode JSON blobs. Jiffy gave me back sliced binaries from the original binary I passed in. This kept the whole binary in memory, even if I was just using a tiny portion of it and discarding the rest. If you're doing this (unlikely that you've run into the exact same problem), use the copy_strings option to jiffy.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">If not, consider looking for other cases where you start with a large binary, discard most of it, and keep a small portion of it. That may be the cause of your binary bloat. If you find something like that, try copying the binaries in a way that causes the original binary to be released from memory.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">- Mike</div><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
