"The second line starting with -/+ buffers/cache: tells us how much of the memory in the buffers/cache is used by the applications and how much is free. Keep in mind that in general the cache is filled with disk IO cached data. The cache can be very easily reclaimed by the OS for applications. Let BUFFERS + CACHED from first line be value X." It's using caches, and my guess is that if stopping the app doesn't free it, then the caching is happening at the OS/FS level, not in Ruby or Rails.
