I'm very interested in hearing updates regarding this issue.  I'm 
working on a design that will utilize Openfire for presence in a 
telephony environment. 

 From a Java perspective, have you utilized any of the JMX tools to 
connect to it while it's running to view it's vitals?  You can also 
force it to dump it's heap and then analyze it to see what's using all 
of the memory, that may be helpful in determining what the culprit is.
