VM in Vsphere 4.0 using too much memory

Hi, I have 2 virtual machines that are Ubuntu 9.04 Server 64-bit and

only run mysql with 9 - 10 lightly used databases. When I go to

performance of these machines, it shows the memory usage percent at

about 97 - 98 percent of the 4 gigs I allocated to it. When i log into

the OS of this machine and do "top" the first service that comes up is

mysql but it only is using 1.5 to 2 % of RAM. I just rebooted 1 of the

virtual machines and now that machine's used memory has just gone down

to 5% . The memory trend is that it gradualy goes back up to 97 % after

about 2.5 weeks.

Any reason or thoughts as to why this would be happening?
