It is worth running 'slabtop' to keep an eye on slab memory allocation,
or simply cat /proc/meminfo
Set 'slabtop' running when you boot the system, and watch it over the
course of a day or so. Is anyting consistently at the top, and growing
all the time?

You could also write a cron job to grep through /proc/meminfo and dump
off selected entries.

I'm referring to slab allocation as I have seen (not in this distro)
network drivers having problems where they don't release used memory,
and so memory keeps growing.
