This is normal and no reason to panic. The number you should keep an eye
on is the free output on the +/- buffers line, and also the so column in
vmstat 5 output (or alternatively the amount of swap used in free
output)

The caches is there to speed up disk access, and is not harmful. It's a
waste to have really free memory. When actual memory usage increases the
buffers/cache gets automatically reduced.
