If you are talking about memory, then this is how Linux generally works - it uses the memory for filesystem buffers and cache. The most reliable way to measure HLDS memory usage is to look at RSS in top or ps aux output (and add shared memory between servers, which usually about 20mb - if forked). I've recently noticed that even the free's "-/+ buffers/cache" may not show the correct memory usage, as it includes some of the memory that the system actually doesn't need and would be freed if any of the applications require it.
