I've seen the growth of memory utilization, I've also see it stop taking 
connections after a certain point..  I've seen this with 2.1.10 and still 
with 2.1.13.  I'm not planning on going to 2.1.15 until I have my 
environment a bit more under control.  Right now I have cfagent kill 
cfservd every night at midnight.  It then restarts it later in the morning 
after backups and whatnot are done.
