It would be easiest to blame my home-built version of GNU HandBrake, but the surge of memory usage mentioned above occurred before I ever started `ghb`.  So pretty sure it's not that.  Could it be ZFS memory caching?  Is there a way to check (or control) that?

I suggest taking a per-process memory snapshot after one day up and another one after three. Compare the two, see if there is a process hogging it. If it is, use https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/memleak.py to find out what is leaking inside Regards, Aurelian --
