Michael, under Linux, swap memory is not freed automatically. It depends on other factors, such as, when will swapped-out data be needed again. I'd just ignore swap usage and check physical RAM usage (RES).
I'm getting the same misbehavior too: gnome-panel uses up memory. It used about 4.9 GB in my system once over three days. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1101903 Title: Constantly rising memory usage by gnome-panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1101903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
