It certainly provides a clue, but not a solution. In the "Mem" section of 
the top display, the "buff" number goes up by 24k every 5 seconds (even 
when you tell top to refresh every 2 seconds). Something's getting buffers 
and not returning them? I removed the GbE net driver module from the kernel 
and the problem continues. I'm afraid to remove the sata drivers because I 
don't want to destroy my raid. I unmounted and stopped the raid, no change. 
No processes appear to be growing in size, but I'll let it run for a couple 
of days to see if that changes.

Thank you for your suggestion.
