I am not sure this is a kernel issue. A few days after posting #17 I added MATE desktop and removed all Unity applications and the problem was resolved, with exactly the same daily usage schema. I enjoy Unity but needed a usefull machine. Now my average memory usage is 22% out of 4GB (867MB) including cache. Problem before was present even when machine was iddle, that is no longer a problem.
