92 processes:  1 running, 91 sleeping
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  1.1% system,  0.0% interrupt, 98.9% idle
Mem: 52M Active, 663M Inact, 155M Wired, 111M Buf, 126M Free
Swap: 2012M Total, 2012M Free
any tips on finding where the memory is going?
Only one top output for only small amount of time is not usefull.

Looks like Free memory becomes Buffered memory as time passes- this is fine (actually great).

This is also very logical because I bet your memory is faster than your harddisk.
