Response time slowly increasing if the assembler runs for long time:

Hi,

  We created the assembler process which assembles 52 documents and gives the mashed document as output. This works excellent.

We ran this process in performance testing in pre-prod for 4 hours with 5 users mashing up 52 documents form (2614 threads). What we observed is the LC server response time tends to increase slowly from 10 sec to 15 sec. So, we were scared about what if we run this process continuosly in production?

What could be the reason for this increase in response time? do we have to change any config setting for this service or any admin settings to control this?

here is the attached graph for the response time:

Thanks,

Krishna
