did you check jmx to see if a compaction is going on?

i run top and i see cassandra's memory usage as follows:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
31510 bburruss 19 0 359g 37g 27g S 48.8 80.1 2137:30 java
i set -Xmx10g so it isn't java using the memory. is it mmap i/o? what
would be causing the huge memory usage?
it seems reasonable that the performance is bad because the i/o cache can't
be used properly.
