Possibly your database is using lots of SysV shared memory, which
would explain why "wired" is going up so much, otherwise perhaps
something in the kernel is leaking. "sysctl kern.malloc" might be
interesting to consider.
Are my assumptions incorrect, should the totals displayed by top be at
least approximately equal?
Exclude the "buf" entry from your math, that will be closer. You
should be looking further down at the SIZE column to see which
processes are using so much RAM...
