I am adding a single .mp3 file to each book manually by using the "Upload Format" link, files are up to 800MB in size.
Before the upload start, ram usage is about 100MB or less, during the upload the ram usage increases up to about 1.5GB but once the upload is done it only drops back down to about 700MB. I have left it 8hrs to see if there was any change but ram usage doesn't drop.
Pre Upload ram usage:
During upload of 770MB file:
After upload is completed:
This 'residual' ram usage accumulates between uploads so I am having to reboot after every 2-3 uploads to prevent uploads from failing due to ram usage maxing out.
Is this expected behaviour?
Is there a workaround by uploading the files to the database folder and editing the database somehow without using the web interface? I am thinking I could just manually copy the files into the folder.
