There are many, many things that could still be running, even when
you've shut down all programs that appear in the Dock. Apache, for
example, or any other UNIX daemons. Device drivers are another example.
If something like that is leaking memory, shutting down GUI apps won't
free it up.
One thing that comes to mind, because I've run across it myself - are
you developing mod_perl or similar server apps? I'm not picking on
mod_perl specifically, any app environment that "outlives" individual
requests can be vulnerable to leaks in the scripts that run under it. If
so, it might be worth checking how big Apache's footprint has gotten,
and restart that if needed.
