That's a very minimal setup. The number of metrics won't be involved here.

If the server goes down, the agent will spool messages to disk and when 
the server comes back, those messages will be loaded into memory and 
sent to the server. The spool is upper-bound-limited through the 
configuration (I think its something like 100MB - any new messages to 
get spooled will push out the oldest messages).

We've seen instances in the past where failed connection retries causes 
leaks, but that was a while ago and I think we fixed those in previous 
releases. Search the bugzilla issues if you want to see if you can find 
something similar.
