Before anyone can even begin to address your problem, there are a couple 
of pretty important pieces if information that need to be filled in:

	- Which platform?  (It can make a difference.)
	- What kind of system activity is going when you notice the
	  most lossage?
	- Have you tried to narrow down the source?

Simply saying that there is a "memory leak" is so broad, that it's nearly 
impossible to track down the cause.  There are *a lot* of functions in 
the kernel...
