Richard,
This is normal for AIX. I don't know about other Unix OS's
AIX will keep the most recently read file pages in real memory unless
it is needed for something else.  My S7A with 8GB ram does the same thing.

I use the "top"utility to monitor my server adsm server load.  I noticed
that the Real memory statement is showing 812M files is being used.  What
does the files statement mean?  it seems whatever files means is taking up
all of my memory.
