The decline over time suggests a memory leak. We are currently in the process of applying service to a 4.2.1.9 server to fix a similar problem. The most obvious suspect in our case is specific to OS/390 servers (it has to do with the ASCII to EBCDIC code conversion needed in that environment). However, some of the responses to my initial posting on our performance problems made reference to fixes for other memory leaks.
