I seem to recall that on RH, all files are mmap'd and that can occupy seemingly huge amounts of memory, when in fact it is all buffer cache and will be collected by the OS if actually needed for something else. Could it be logging in your app (or Tomcat) is writing a lot of data to files?

We did not found any memory leak, but memory footprint is increasing. We observed that tomcat's memory footprint (not the heap size) keeps increasing if we run it for a long time under constant load. Initially it was 305 MB, but after running it for 12 hours continuously, it increased to 1153 MB. We are running the server on Red Hat Linux AS 3.0.

Did the profiler indicate any memory leak? If so where was it?
