Jeff - more explicitly:
ps aux | grep ^ldm
Assuming for a moment that you are running decoders or triggers from the
pqact exe . . . your issue probably isn't ldm itself (rpc.ldmd, pqact,
etc.) but rather some decoder or piped application. Just guessing.
Also, if you do a "free" just to make sure all your physical memory is
registered by the OS.

Jeff,
The drop in memory-usage upon shutting-down the LDM could be because the
operating-system no longer has to service the LDM.
I suggest that you explicitly determine the memory-usage of the LDM by
using the ps(1) utility and adding the the values reported in the SIZE
column. I suspect the total will be way less than the amount of memory
you have.

Steve ..
it sure looks like it ..
if I shut LDM down memory usage will fall off drastically
more then what I the queue set for..
if Linux is doing that, seems kinda inefficient to me ?
Gilbert,
what does BillyBob know about a real operating system ;}
system loads are below or just flirting with 1, only time the loads
bounce over 1 is when scour runs

Jeff,
How do you know the LDM is using the memory?
On a Linux system, the operating-system will consume as much memory as
it can without interfering with user processes.
For the first few years of running Linux, I had wondered the same thing.
Look at your load average, for starters. If you're below 1, chances
are it's all good. 12 GB of RAM is fine, and you'll never use that
much. Bill Gates told me so! ;-)
I have found that running 1.2 GB queue out of /dev/shm for my LDM,
even with level 2 data coming in, works fine. It is on my NOAAport
ingest server, whose load average most of the time is flat out zero.
It does jump up to about .50 when NOAAPort is closer to it's current
10 mb/sec max.
