Lonnie, you're running Asterisk on a 128K system?

If you clearly look at that, much of that used memory is cached. Linux does a great job of managing memory and allocating as much as possible. Also remember that /tmp and /var are located in ramfs. As your log files grow, more memory will be used. The default values for /tmp and /var should not cause problems for most systems.
