Everytime that we run our daemon with stunnel, our CPU and memory/swap area consumption is extremely intensive. Each stunnel process consumes approximately 37Mb of RSS memory.
You're wrong. Stunnel uses threads instead of processes. Each thread of a process uses the same memory region. It's a common confusion, because Linux 2.4 threads look just like processes in the output of "ps" command. It's not stunnel that eats up your memory. BTW: Please upgrade your stunnel.
