Default SPLAT excessive memory usage?

Hello all - I wasnt sure where to post this question since I couldnt find the appropriate forum but -

Has anyone noticed a tendency of SPLAT to use excessive amounts of memory under any specific circumstances? Such as a long, over complicated and heavily used rulebase or something?

Heres the situation: The box is an Intel based 1U rackmount system running SPLAT, with a very diverse and (and perhaps) over complicated rule base. This is a production firewall serving many, many purposes and clients. It is pretty stable and doesnt seem to have any functionality issues - it has been up for quite some time now. The box has 1GB of memory, which is 99% used constantly, and I do mean ALL the time. Yet load averages show 0.00, CPUs are 99% idle, and TOP doesnt show any particular process using the memory. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for the input.
