yes, exactly. kern is kvm.kmem_size, proc is the sum of RSS memory of all processes (including kernel processes), active and wired are the value from top, arc is the ZFS ARC. > > In the first half of the graph, there's a torrent download running, which > > I assume causes the large fluctuations in memory usage.

As you pointed out, my processes don't change that much.
