Query on memory leaks (DU 3.2 or application)

Hi all,

We have a turn-key system (our software on DU 3.2d) which seems to slow
over time. If we stop and start the application, the system still runs
slow. I am trying to determine if this could be OS processes or our
application processes.

My question is this. If we have an application (developed in C) which
has a "memory leak". Will terminating the process free up the memory?

All submissions will be greatly appreciated and I will summarise. If
anyone knows of this being an OS bug could you also let me know.
