That is a hell of a lot of leaking.

Assuming 90 req/s over a 10 hour peak period times 3.. that is only
about 10 million requests. 2 GB / 10 million requests is over 200 bytes
per request.

Any clue on where this memory goes? I.e. any sign in the cachemgr pages?

Du you have access to any leak finder tools on IRIX? Preferably an
online tool that finds memory leaks by "garbage collection" in the
process memory space (offline leak detectors often find way too many
"static" memory leaks which is not interesting to fix).
