  When the server caches the requests, it uses memory to do that.  When
it frees the requests, the memory does *not* get returned to the system.
 This is usually due to the "malloc/free" implementation on your system,
and cannot be controlled by the server.

  If your server really is that busy, then it needs that much memory to
ensure it maintains quality service.  If you make it use less memory,
requests will be lost, and your network will suffer.
