Does your code or any of those pluginx use Array#shift? There was a bug with Array#shift which still existed in 1.8.5 which basically left stuff inside the array data structure after a shift, so that those things didn't get GCd when they should have. It's a sneaky bug that can easily eat a lot of memory. Otherwise, can you start a test instance of your application, and then test it to see if there are certain actions which cause the memory growth. That would help you pinpoint where the likely problems are. Just use ab or httperf to send a large number of requests to specific urls in your app, and see how ram usage changes as you do that.
