When I hit the server with the requests and run the 'top' command, I can see the memory usage goes on increasing with the subsequent requests. After the server becomes idle the memory usage does't go down, it remains constant as maximum used. If I hit another bunch of transactions again it goes on increasing and stays at same size. \r\nIs this a normal behaviour of Node.js or there is a memory leak issue in my code."}}
