Try using Enterprise Ruby (from the same people as Passenger). It can reduce your memory footprint quite a bit. However, in the case you are describing, it could just be that your app needs to be tuned. If you are doing processing on the images, you might want to put those to a background thread like delayed_job, although that process could also suck all the ram, so you might need to use monit on it to periodically restart it.
However, tuning aside, if you are finding your volume is requiring more RAM, you might need to bump your hardware to support it.
