Systemd service taking huge memory

[deepan muthusamy]

If I start my application as system service, it is consuming huge memory.
This leads to my system getting slow down.
If I start manually, it's not consuming that much memory.

What can be the possible reasons?

Well, that's probably something to ask the developer of you
application.

But generally, what do you mean by "consuming huge memory"?

Your application has a memory leak on a path that is only excercised
when started as a permanently running application..hard to tell without
a concrete example and memory usage data.. use

#pmap $(pidof yourprogram)
and see if the PSS size keeps growing or what.
