If you have to know and don't care about the performance impact you can always do:

System.gc();
Runtime.freeMemory();

It's not pretty and I don't recommend doing it but it should give you the answer you are looking for.

But why does the free memory not remain consistant

if

there is no server activity?

There is _always_ some server activity, if for
nothing else than
listening for comm traffic and various timing
operations.  If you turn
off things like development and autoDeploy, you can
reduce this
background activity, but you can never completely
eliminate it.
