Hello,

We are facing very HIGH memory utilization on postgreSQL server and need help.

Mem:   8165696k total,  7943160k used,   222536k free,   282044k buffers
Swap:  8385920k total,   112828k used,  8273092k free,  4793732k cached

What makes you say memory usage is high?

You have ~8gb of memory.
Less than 3gb of that is being used by applications and the OS is using the "spare" 5gb for caching and buffers.
