Error after 5 minutes:

Aborted

how is the RAM usage during the 5 minutes? the respective assertion is catching a failing memory allocation.

I didn't previously checked cpu/mem resources. When I saw 78% on the cpu of a production server, I had to kill the process. Perhaps memory usage would climb but with that cpu load, I'd need to setup a test server rather than putting the load on a production server.

@moltenkaizen how many log-messages are created on the production system per second/minute etc? how big is the "backlog" the forwarder has to process to catch up with whats thrown on top of it (how big is the journal-folder)?
