To get a good picture of the servers use of memory we have to look at more then "top" as ics say.
If I look at "top" on our servers I se 15% mem is used by one instance of srcds, the other 3 is using less then 4%. If I then does a "ps aux" then non of srcds is using more then 3-4% mem. Please check this site about memory problems http://rimuhosting.com/howto/memory.jsp We have many servers running and having no problems with memory. its more problems with updates and plugins. But if you want to restart them once a week- use cron, Good Luck !
