Puppet users - Mar 2014 - Memory sizing (or leak) in master. [Tkt: 115440]

Am I being too optimistic? Running a centos 6.5 virtual machine as puppet
master, on version 3.4.3, I am frequently running out of memory. The virtual
machine only has 0.75Gig of allocated memory. It holds 225 certificates, but
only about 130 of these agent machines are regularly active. Mostly they run the
puppet agent from cron once an hour at a random time or with a random splay from
within puppet if the start time is not already randomised.

How much memory would be normal for a setup of this size, and how is it likely
to scale as we add more client agents?
