Are you sure you're checking your free ram correctly? run "free" and check
the buffers/cache line :)

Yea, I don't count caches and buffers. After being up a few days, it uses
almost all the ram with those included. Here is the output of free tho:
r...@fireball / # free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4055816 3413320 642496 0 540172 1093420

That was just taken and I been logged in for a day or so.

When you have a chance reboot the machine and try it again. Don't run
any apps, open a terminal and run free.
I just rebooted. Here's what I see before running any apps:
m...@c2stable ~ $ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 12303060 462120 11840940 0 12412 178712

Swap: 12602976 0 12602976
m...@c2stable ~ $
It doesn't drop much running Firefox to send this email:
m...@c2stable ~ $ free
total used free shared buffers cached

I don't reboot much. I been up for a while. I finally got me a good
stable kernel build so the next reboot could be a while off. I could go
single user for a bit tho.
