+# Memory Leaks Fixed in SmartProxy
+
+## Summary of Issues Found and Fixed
+
+### 1. MetricsCollector - Request Timestamps Array
+**Issue**: The `requestTimestamps` array could grow to 10,000 entries before cleanup, causing unnecessary memory usage.
+**Fix**: Reduced threshold to 5,000 and more aggressive cleanup when exceeded.
+
+### 2. RouteConnectionHandler - Unused Route Context Cache
+**Issue**: Declared `routeContextCache` Map that was never used but could be confusing.
+**Fix**: Removed the unused cache and added documentation explaining why caching wasn't implemented.
+
+### 3. FunctionCache - Uncleaned Interval Timer
+**Issue**: The cache cleanup interval was never cleared, preventing proper garbage collection.
+**Fix**: Added `destroy()` method to properly clear the interval timer.
+
+### 4. HttpProxy/RequestHandler - Uncleaned Rate Limit Cleanup Timer
+**Issue**: The RequestHandler creates a setInterval for rate limit cleanup that's never cleared.
+**Status**: Needs fix - add destroy method and call it from HttpProxy.stop()
+
+## Memory Leak Test
+
+A comprehensive memory leak test was created at `test/test.memory-leak-check.node.ts` that:
+- Tests with 1000 requests to same routes
+- Tests with 1000 requests to different routes (cache growth)
+- Tests rapid 10,000 requests (timestamp array growth)
+- Monitors memory usage throughout
+- Verifies specific data structures don't grow unbounded
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. Always use `unref()` on intervals that shouldn't keep the process alive
+2. Always provide cleanup/destroy methods for classes that create timers
+3. Implement size limits on all caches and Maps
+4. Consider using WeakMap for caches where appropriate
+5. Run memory leak tests regularly, especially after adding new features
+
+## Running the Memory Leak Test
+
+```bash
+# Run with garbage collection exposed for accurate measurements
+node --expose-gc test/test.memory-leak-check.node.ts
+```
+
+The test will monitor memory usage and fail if memory growth exceeds acceptable thresholds.
