It is very possible the 4 other servers in the site had a memory limit
imposed the last time
Performance Optimizer was ran.

As Mr. Steve Ramsay said, the high memory utilization is due to Dynamic
Buffer Allocation.

This is explained on page 617 of "Managing Microsoft Exchange Server"
(ISBN:1565925459).
Also see section 4.2.3, Dynamic Buffer Allocation, in "Microsoft Exchange
Server 5.5" (ISBN:1555582133).

A search of TechNet for "Dynamic Buffer Allocation" give several hits for
the Exchange product.
