I took a quick look at the code. There's the Receive loop, you allocate and decode ReceivedGobs there. As part of the ReceivedGob, a WatheverDevice is also allocated and decoded. Assuming there are no errors in decoding, you do SendResult(Device), which sends the Device to the "input" channel. I seem to understand that you expect the ReceivedGobs to be garbage collected and it seems to me that it should indeed happen. Maybe are the Devices that are filling your memory? Where do the Devices go, after they are sent to "input"?
