mnesia_tm process memory high watermark

[Serge Aleynikov]

In a production system running mnesia database with in-memory replicas 
we noticed through OS_MON that mnesia_tm process was eating a lot of 
memory as illustrated below.  Is there a recommendation on how to ensure 
that mnesia_tm is automatically garbage collected periodically to keep 
the process memory overhead manageable?

Is the proper way to handle this to call 
erlang:system_flag(fullsweep_after, Number) or there's a better approach?
