Thanks for the suggestions and ideas.
It's great to have some outside input; as it is hard to trace spikes like this.
Thank you again.

trace-cmd-mem
TRACE-CMD-MEM(1) TRACE-CMD-MEM(1)
NAME
trace-cmd-mem - show memory usage of certain kmem events
SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd mem [OPTIONS][input-file]
DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) mem requires a trace-cmd record that enabled the following events:
kmalloc
kmalloc_node
kfree
kmem_cache_alloc
kmem_cache_alloc_node
kmem_cache_alloc_free
It then reads the amount requested and the ammount freed as well as the functions that called the allocation. It then reports the final
amount of bytes requested and allocated, along with the total amount allocated and requested, as well as the max allocation and requested
during the run. It reports the amount of wasted bytes (allocated - requested) that was not freed, as well as the max wasted amount during
the run. The list is sorted by descending order of wasted bytes after the run.
