I restarted the backend on the 13th:
%CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME
 6.9 11.6 417368 113256 ?       Ssl  Aug14  38:14

 8.3 21.1 510148 205332 ?       Ssl  Aug14 882:29
 8.3 22.8 552172 221880 ?       Ssl  Aug14 1011:27

So we dismiss the first sample and see some jittery (?) VSZ growth.
In older stats the growth was more steady.
