Research direction

Start by reproducing the memory usage difference between tracer 1.60.3 and 1.52.9 on Java 11 with Amazon Corretto, since the issue provides no reproduction code or project entry point. Compare the two versions under the affected services and consider the work complete when memory usage is similar to or better than 1.52.9 without losing the CVE fix.

Bug Report

We recently upgraded to 1.60.3 and with this update, we have seen an increase an application memory usage for our services running on java 11 (amazon-corretto-11.0.27.6.1-linux-x64). I have attached images of two different services where you can see the decrease in available memory. Rolling back to v1.52.9 helped us get stable.

However, to address CVE - GHSA-579q-h82j-r5v2, we would like to upgrade to 1.60.3 or higher as soon as possible. Please let us know if you need additional information.
