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.
