Linux puts things in cache using extra (unused) memory. It is
absolutely normal to have "Free Memory" go down to a fairly small level and have Buffers and Cache grow.
Why does Linux do this? It seems odd to me.
It is rational usage of available resources. If you utilize available memory for caching purposes you speed up all services and reduce hard disk usage, so hard disk lasts longer and all services/programs/daemons are more snappier (higher performance).
