Is it possible this issue is caused by the cache or buffer of Postgresql
server? I guess when we run performance testing, will read/update
different records, Postgresql might use some new memory for cache or buffer
some records, and some these cache or buffer will not be cleaned after
performance test is finished. so the new increased memory is for cache or
buffer.
Not sure if my guess is reasonable or not.

Thanks,
Sam
