Recent mixminion issues

[phobos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm noticing mixminion 0.0.8alpha is consuming more memory and cpu than
ever before.  I also notice it's creating huge floods of disk i/o as
well.  Normally, mixminion seems to be floating at 100-120MB virt ram
assigned, now it's blossoming to 350-500MB.  CPU usage used to be 1-2%
on average, now it's 50-60%.  I frequently catch it at 99.9% for 10-20
minutes at a time.

Has anyone else seen similar issues?  

In addition, my server's stability hasn't changed in months.  Traffic has actually
dropped off dramatically over the past month.  

I used to see days like this:
