Memory leaks after prod upgrade of subversion to 1.7.2

We migrated to subversion 1.7.2 today from 1.4.6 and seeing sudden issues with memory

The free memory drops suddenly (24g memory on the box)

We have upgraded only the server and clients are various versions 1.4.6 1.4.2 1.6.9 etc

I saw some mention of memory leaks but this seems like a major issue

 
We are using

Red hat 5

Apache 2.2

Neon 0.29.6

Apr 1.4.5

Apr util 1.3.12

Surf 1.0.0

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regard,

Rajesh
