There is at least one known case of memory leak 8.4.0. Possibly you
got hit by that or another early adopter bug. I think in your case
it's probably to soon to have upgraded...with 10k connections even
minor annoyances can be real nasty.
I'd wait a few months while in the meantime stage your app on a
testing database and double check the important query plans to make
sure there are no big performance regressions. Each version of pg has
a couple for various reasons.
