Why do you think there is a memory problem? Are there any errors reported on the HP-UX console, Oracle alert logs or anywhere else?

Memory is there to be used. Loads of unused memory, is a waste. Just as is a CPU that is always running idle.

That said - memory and CPU should be effectively used. But used they should be. Unless there are memory errors or performance issues that relates to memory usage (i.e. loads of page swapping), then a mere 25MB of free memory is not a Bad Thing (tm).
