Directadmin's RAM usage

[LawsHosting]

Is it normal for it to use gigs of RAM? Hovers around 5Gig.

(I've compared MySQL, as it's the most used)

No, I don't think so. I have checked several servers, and they are from 160 to 500MB

Since the last 2 versions, we see that the directadmin service takes a lot of memory, even over 2GB.
Anyone else expericing the same issue?
And how to find the issue?
