autoban can use a significant amount of memory on the host you run it on. The more traffic you have and the more data you configure autoban to look at, the more it will use (possibly hundreds or thousands of MB).

aut

To diagnose the resources usage, you can use time -l autoban.pl on OS X or time -v autoban.pl on linux.
