NimbleOS Replication Memory Growth Tuning

Gradual memory increase observed during continuous replication sessions in NimbleOS

Administrators need to determine an appropriate garbage‑collection threshold for the replication buffer in NimbleOS to curb the steady rise in memory usage reported by the show memory command during prolonged replication windows.

The threshold is a manual tunable; there is no automatic adjustment based on workload, so choosing a value that is too aggressive may cause frequent buffer reclamation and added overhead, while a too‑conservative setting can allow memory to grow unchecked.

What considerations should guide the selection of this threshold, how can its impact be measured without disrupting ongoing replication, and is there a recommended baseline value for typical mixed‑workload scenarios?
