Interesting... I will have a look at it (the trouble to test it is
that I can't just shutdown the server since its a 24x7). Thanks for
the information.

Another thing that I forgot to mention is that most of our code uses
CommitRettaining (very few places uses Commit). May this be causing
the OAT/OIT & high memory usage problem?
