The writer process seems to be using inordinate amounts of memory:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+

I am writing moderately large (~3k) records to my database a few times
a second. Even when I stop doing that, the process continues to take
up all of that memory.
Am I reading this right? Why is it using so much memory?
