Cisco AMP taking too much memory

Hello. I have a bunch of VMWare hosted servers that AMP is hogging memory on. Most noticeably, it's really hogging it up on several servers that have 4GB of memory, to the point where I get constant Nagios alerts about memory usage. Previous, I could uninstall AMP and reinstall it (since this required no downtime/rebooting of the servers). But this only lasts 3-4 weeks and then it starts happening again. 

I don't want to post the whole SFC just yet until I can redact company information, but this is one thing that I am seeing constantly in here. I don't know if it is related.

I think I managed to scrub all the IP's, domain names, user names, etc.. Hopefully.

It's also worth mentioning that I can stop the Cisco Secure Endpoint service and the memory usage IMMEDIATELY falls to about 30%. Then, after starting the service again, it stays around 37%. It just seems like about once a month, something happens and it pegs out, and I can't tell what it is
