Especially were it to be a windows-based server, there might be totally
innocuous looking client applications, including the windows explorer
itself, that may leak memory or otherwise do stuff that makes it "appear"
as if the reboot is helping.
I remember attending a presentation at Openworld some years back where a
consultant explained all of the things in windows that could cause problem
for oracle and how to turn off as many as you could.

We have seen DB servers
running client processes that do leak memory and will benefit from the

My thoughts as well.
It could even be some Oracle specific process that is leaking memory.
The OCM agents (Oracle Collection Manager) are java based.
