It certainly provides a clue, but not a solution. In the
"Mem" section of the top display, the "buff" number
goes up by 24k every 5 seconds (even when you tell top to refresh every 2
seconds). Something's getting buffers and not returning them? I removed
the GbE net driver module from the kernel and the problem continues. I'm
afraid to remove the sata drivers because I don't want to destroy my
raid. I unmounted and stopped the raid, no change. No processes appear to
be growing in size, but I'll let it run for a couple of days to see if
that changes.

Thank you for your suggestion.
