Re: How to determine what process is gobbling up memory?
Hi.
That is normal for Linux - it will use all available memory. If your applications don't need it, then it will be used for caches etc.
Determining exact amount of RAM used by processes is not trivial, see http://lwn.net/Articles/329785/. ps et all will give you an overwiew, so that's a good start.

Goran
