My iPad 'lost' 15GB

Try a hard reset: hold the home and lock buttons down at the same time. If that doesn't work, try a full reset back to factory settings via your computer.
I'd go for the factory reset then. Also: when was the last time you synced it to your computer? How long have you had your iPad?
Before you restore to factory settings, look in iTunes at the bottom usage bar to see how is that memory being used (Music, Video, Photos, Apps, etc.), and you'll have a better idea on where to look for the memory 'leak'.
Then post your findings.

Plug that bad boy into iTunes and at the bottom it will tell you exactly what media is using what amount of space.
You should be able to find the culprit.

If iTunes is telling you that there is 9 GB of free space, but your iPad is telling you different, than I would believe something is definitely wrong here.
Might I suggest a good ol' fashion reinstall?
No, because I jailbreak myself. But you should realize that if your device isn't working properly, it might be time to look at what you have done post-jailbreak, and try a restore.
Let's face it. You would not walk into an Apple store with the iPad in it's present condition and expect them to help you, right?
I was thinking that they just meant you should restore the device using iTunes and see if the problem persists.
I understand...it would take hours to restore my iPad the way it is now. But the only way you will know for certain is to do a full restore, not jailbreak, and see what transpires.
