When I first started testing Zenoss I had it on a 64-bit VM with 1GB of memory.  After putting just a handful of devices in monitoring, the web UI was definitely sluggish, memory usage was through the roof, and the swap was getting slammed.  Now the machine has 2GB of memory, and the output of  `free -m` looks like this:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:    2048       1898        149          0        344        391

For reference, I'm currently only monitoring 42 devices in a test environment.  I don't know how Zope manages memory, but I know that Linux caches very aggressively.  For example, our neteng department uses zenoss to manage about 850 devices (50k data points).  They have 8GB of RAM in their server, and Linux is using 6GB of that in cache.  Anyway, the point is that a lot of what you're seeing is Linux's memory management at work.

Sorry, I should have given a little more info on the system.

It's a standard 32bit P4 with 1GB of memory. I'm running zenoss on the latest stable Debian release (Etch). 

I'm monitoring 89 devices registered in zenoss, with around 50 of those being monitored via snmp and the others having the snmp monitoring turned off as I just need ping results from them.

I also have the DrawMapLinks zproperty set to false in locations.
