What I am telling you is:
a) my top output is not showing a figure for CACHE
b) buffers and free mem are constantly declining

Please stay on topic, I'm not looking for a discourse on graph colours
Free and Buffers memory constantly declining doesn't mean memory leak. Memory that is not accessed any more becomes inactive; and can become active again. For more info ask FreeBSD VM developers. FreeBSD is not Linux (at least in VM design).

But it's still possible that user programs (and not kernel) actually have memory leaks.
