It's one of the best possible distros to use as a server, since it's
very complete and managable. I do a lot of consulting jobs for small and
medium businesses, and opensuse performs quite solidly. Of course,
personal preferences play a large part. I've been a unix admin since the
90s, and have tried most of the major distros out there, and for the
most part suse is my goto distro.

That could be a slight difference in kernel parameters, which are easily
tuned. It could also be a different usage pattern - could it be that
you're running a totally different workload on the 2 distros, or you had
suse booted up longer? In general linux will always use all the RAM it
can, because unused RAM is wasted RAM.
