D7.0.9 site using 15GB of memory?

The memory usage on a dedicated server for a Dolphin 7.0.9 site is:
[root@server1 httpd]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         15946      15076        869          0        371       1660
-/+ buffers/cache:      13044       2901
Swap:         1025          1       1024
Is it normal for a Dolphin 7.0.9 community site with about 900 members, typically less than 10 online at any time, to use so much memory? I purposely set the cron jobs to run at different times so I don't think that's the issue. The site was running well for many months but the last few has been having memory issues yet there has been no major changes. I had a db expert check the MySQL service and was told it's running fine. There are no "memory" errors showing up in the log files.  It's a mystery... :-(

Would really need to know more, like what's running and using your resources.

I'm no longer the "webmaster" for the club that owns the site but, since I built the site, they've asked me to look into the issue.  Let me get their formal approval to purchase your time to review the server settings via http://www.boonex.com/m/dolphin-server-audit-2014-02-14 ... including their permission to give you full access to their server.

Sorry, I stopped offering services through the market some time back. I must have forgotten to pull that entry. I can still take a look, but not in any official capacity.

Nathan, I'll send you a private message once I get permission from the site's controlling group.  Paul :-)
