While top doesn't reflect actual memory usage, it only
reflects virtual usage (ie. the same memory mapped 10 times
gets counted 10 times), it does seem a little odd that you have
that much memory being reported. Is this at startup or after
running for a while? Is the disk swapping? It could be a
resource leak in a client (a big leak).
Mark.
