Not enough people using GUI or looking for lists ?
Mine goes from 50Mb to about 900Mb in a day.

Well, at some point you won't be able to add more memory to your box ;)
And it's the $list_of_lists{$name} doing that in task_manager too.
Try commenting it out, your process should run at about 20Mb vs 900Mb plus.
Also, most of those 900Mb are taken by scenarios.
I've disabled scenarios in _load_list_param() and the process went down
from 900Mb to 160Mb.

So sharing scenarios between lists rather than caching them for every list
and trimming down %list_of_lists stuff should help significantly.
I guess even the first step should be sufficient.
I can live with 160Mb for 12,000 plus lists...

thanks
