What is the storage configuration? Are you using qcow2?

I'm not using qcow2 files. The /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 partition is a physical
volume that maintains the logical volumes that are used for VM's disks:


In this case there should be no excessive memory usage. qcow2 could use extra memory, especially on older qemu-kvm versions (or images created with older qemu-img versions).

What is the host kernel (uname -a)?

root@ss02:~# uname -a
Linux ss02 2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 18:43:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux


kvm memory management with pre 2.6.27 host kernels is pretty weak. Using a newer host kernel (and newer kvm) may solve this problem.
