We all know that LMDB uses a memory-mapped database, so the actual usage of memory by the monero network service process (aka monerod, monero daemon) is very minimal (once network synchronization has completed).

More information on caching and memory mapping can be found here.

Despite these facts, it is sometimes advantageous to reduce the apparent usage of memory by the monerod process. How can one reduce the apparent memory usage?

As per comments, Monero memory usage is not an issue here, it's about understanding Linux memory. The usage is not "high" and there is no reason to change anything for those that simply do not understand Linux memory.
