The top SIZE usage is this line
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
5937540 5937540 100% 0.09K 141370 42 565480K kmalloc-96
which seems to be growing continuously. However, it’s much smaller than the
drop in free memory. It gets to around 1 GB after tens of seconds (500 MB
here), but the overall free memory is dropping by about 1 GB / second, so tens
of GB over the same time.

Other than MemFree dropping, I don’t see much. Here’s a diff, 10 seconds apart:

MemFree has dropped by 9 GB, but as far as I can tell nothing else has
increased by anything near as much, so I don’t know where the memory is going.
