I've been noticing never-before-seen highs in memory usage, since the last time I rebuilt world a bout a week ago. I have 2GB of memory and 2GB of swap space. According to top, a little over 1GB of memory is active, 70MB free, 300MB wired, and the rest inactive. I also have 59MB of swap used. If I close an application, the amount of active memory never decreases and the other stats don't change either. The active figure can't be right even now, as I only have Xfce, Xorg, screen, two zsh session, slurm, irssi, pidgin, mpd, ncmpc, and irssi running. That's usually my normal session and usage has been better before I recompiled. Is it possible that top is displaying the wrong stats? Is there any other utility I could try? I've tried ps auxm, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for.
