Bill, thanks for your reply. "shared_buffers" is set to "128MB".
Now that you mention config file, the only thing I did change there, and was suggested to me while I made some on my databases was "max_locks_per_transaction = 50000" (which has default value 10000). After resetting "max_locks_per_transaction" to default value and restarting the server, memory occupied in working set reduced linearly to around 200 MB. I guess this is it.
