Sohil Shah commented on JBPORTAL-1618:
--------------------------------------

Mike is working on a support case where customer is streaming binary content, and for some content, the server seems to slow down a lot due to excessive memory consumption.

Its not fully confirmed that this is the source of the issue. He is still working with the customer for more tests.

However, technically if the binary content is really really long, it could be a memory issue. Maybe a hybrid approach could be possible

where if the content is beyond a certain size, use the file system caching/streaming approach, but for most files use the current in-memory approach.

Obviously the size at which the switch occurs is probably discussable.

> ContentImpl currently stores content as a byte array. This consumes memory as the Content object is passed around the JVM. Consider storing the content as a tempory file on the filesystem until the stream is sent.
