Directly after booting, everything is okay but the usage grows significantly. I wonder whether this is expected behavior. The following statistics have been taken after 8 days of uptime during which the system was on standby most of the time during work days and at night. free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 3754 3588 165 0 57 258 -/+ buffers/cache: 3271 482 Swap: 6142 978 5163 [...]Like I posted in another thread today, the memory columns in top do not mean what most people think they mean, nor are they simplistic.
However, the values reported by "free -m" are somewhat useful and indicate that something is very wrong with memory consumption on his system.
