Do a `top -n'. If most of that 511MB is categorized as `File', then
it's normal. Every morning at 4:15 the /etc/daily script is run.
This does a checksum verification of all the files under /usr/pkg.
(The more files you have under /usr/pkg, the more data will go into
the file-cache.)

/etc/daily does other things which read a lot of data, but, the package
file-checksum verification is the major hog. You can turn it off using:

echo 'check_pkg_signatures=NO' >> /etc/security.conf
