Hi Robert, I will perform your suggestions tonight. I took another troubleshooting step last night of loading the previous version (3.8.13-bone32). I am ashamed I did not think of it before posting. I have let it run all night and the older version has a more muted memory growth of 37 MB in ~12 hrs.
Your question: Did you enable systemd based boot or is this still the traditional one? I am sorry, I am not knowledgeable enough to answer your question (I have some google'ing to do). I am not aware of actively changing the booting process. I only copied the image to an SD card and then flashed the eMMC. I will reload the newer (v3.8.13-bone37) system (from my PC harddrive) and post your suggestions tonight.
