tldr; post the output of the free command when uacctd is running and I’ll do my best to interpret it for you :-) Is it _really_ using it, or is it just not completely unused? The linux kernel generally does pretty good job of keeping stuff that might be useful in memory, but getting rid of it very very quickly if the space is needed for something else. The challenge you face is that most of the userspace tools come with a long list of caveats about what they appear to report vs what’s really happening, this is mainly due to the way the kernel shares memory between processes, and its use of as much memory as possible for various caches.
