It appears to be fine - I've only just upgraded to 8.0 last week, and I
spend some of my time at work using Dynix machines, which don't run X at
all, and the 37 meg seemed a bit high. However, from other people's posts,
it appears to be fine.
I picked the RAM out mainly because of the 0k of memory being shared. I'd
expect to see at least *some* memory shared, even if it were only a few
libraries...
Mem: 125600K av, 62400K used, 63200K free, 0K shrd, 892K
buff
Swap: 265032K av, 52372K used, 212660K free 29892K

Subject: Re: [expert] kapm-idled????
so, are you saying that the amount of RAM that X is using is ok? or
is
there something amiss here with the amount that it's using?
