Linux memory Usage

[Vaishnavi R]

Hi friends,

I have installed Hobbit on Red Hat ES Linux.
Everything works fine but I feel the memory usage by Hobbit is high.

My Hobbit version is 4.1.2p1

I am not very good on Linux and am not sure how to find out which process is
consuming so much memory. The reason for my concern is especially because
the server had crashed after a week of Hobbit running continuously. There is
nothing but couple of apache web sites running on that server( Those ae also
experimental sites and dont have much activity on them)

Following is  a snapshot of how memory was used
