This does not equate to a memory leak, there is no point in removing file
data from the cache unless there is another use for the memory, there is
always the possibility that it might be used again. All these numbers
mean is the memory has file data in it (it will be clean).
I also checked in a change today which will change memory usage when under
pressure - which this system is not.
