How many sites are on that raq?  Do you allow your clients telnet access
to the raq?  Keep a telnet window open with top running to see what might
be taking up all of that memory.  You might be able to check your
/var/log/messages log, sometimes you will get memory messages there as
well.  Your best bet though is to keep a window open with top running and
keep a close eye on it.  On some of my raq2's kswapd would freak out every
once in a while.  Never was able to track it down.
