Are your results from "top" similar to: ps axu | sort -nr -k +6 If you don't see 2.4G of use from applications, maybe the kernel is using a lot of memory. Check /proc/slabinfo. You can simplify its content to bytes per object type and a total: grep -v ^# /proc/slabinfo | awk 'BEGIN {t=0;} {print $1 " " ($3 * $4); t=t+($3 * $4)} END {print "total " t/(1024 * 1024) " MB";}' | column -t
