Memory Leak? Excessive memory usage. 80% usage on 8 gigs.

velrob
I have a weird problem where memory usage begins to climb after rebooting.  I've tried downgrading to older versions, tried reinstalling and doing a clean setup/reconfigure and same issue.

The only service running is the firewall.

The box has 8 gigs of ram and will climb to 80% usage and idle around there.

I went into the box through SSH to see which process was using the ram but I dont see anything.   

Resource Usage  
CPU
0%
RAM
52% of 7.9 GB
Log Disk
1% of 45.7 GB
Data Disk
2% of 34.8 GB

I rebooted recently so thats why its sitting at 52% for now.   

Sophos is running inside ESXi.

Ive run out of ideas to track down the problem.

i am using sophos home edition.

    make all of the ram reservations hard reservations so that they cannot go outside of their ram allocations.

    Secondly yhou are only leaving two gigs of ram open for the host.  While that's doable it's cutting things a bit thin.  On the sophos box do you have web caching turned on?  if so turn it off.  Also how many users/devices are on the sophos machine(vm that are using the sophos count as devices).  Which modules are you running?
