if you have lots of mem, it makes sense to cache all sorts of interesting data in your memory. Not to much so that if you start a program that you will have to free mem. But having your memory just sit there without data would be a waste. IMO, it is completely normal, and useful, behaviour. You have lots of questions, Robert:) d.
