Curiously at startup python begins consuming ~1950M of VIRT, but only 46M of RES and 23M of SHR... No signs of any of those numbers increasing more than +/- 5% (although VIRT occasionally drops momentarily to ~160-180 MB before returning to ~1950 MB which seems awfully strange).
About 15 minutes of running, the app has locked up, Virt shows 364M, res=45M, SHR=23M. I did notice that while running their were about 20k rescheduling interrupts per second in /proc/interrupts (which I believe is causing 30-40% SYS CPU use).
