I've noticed that after fifteen days of uptime, that all of my 2gig
physical mem has been used up. I did a top sorted by residual size,
which can be found at http://lattera.antitech.org/nbsd_top.txt, and
saw that the kernel processes are each taking up 380mb.

vmstat -m output: http://lattera.antitech.org/nbsd_vmstat.txt

Any reasons why this is happening? Any way I can tone down the kernel
to not gradually fill up mem?

bash-3.00# uname -a
NetBSD  2.0.2 NetBSD 2.0.2 (GENERIC) #0: Thu Mar 24 02:28:37 MST 2005 
root@:/usr/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64

Thanks
