1.7x 2GB RAMを使用すると主張するサーバーがありますが、実行中のプロセスの合計メモリ使用量はその数に近いものではありません。
$ free -m

これまで私が見つけた説明は、高いメモリ使用量を非難しています。キャッシュとバッファまたはカーネルスラブキャッシュしかし、この場合、これらのどれも原因ではないようです（/proc/meminfo以下を参照）。
過剰なRAMの使用を引き起こす可能性があるもう1つの要因は何ですか？
原因を見つけて軽減するにはどうすればよいですか？
潜在的な関連情報：
このシステムは、上記のようにIntel Atom N2800 CPUと2 GBのRAMを備えたリース専用サーバーです。 wheezy-backportsの3.13カーネルでDebian Wheezy（7.6）を実行しています。
