I have the same problem (it's an dual PIII NFS fileserver with promise sx6000
raid, 320 GB ext3 filesystem and only 512 MB Ram).

After only 2 days running the bloatmeter output looks like:
   inode_cache:   336585KB   357234KB   94.21
  dentry_cache:    50305KB    56523KB   88.99
       size-32:     1516KB     1695KB   89.46

free output is this:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers  cached
Mem:        515980     506464       9516          0    2272      19204
-/+ buffers/cache:     484988      30992
Swap:      1951856       7992    1943864
