Hi All, I have an idle curiousity I'm hoping someone might indulge...
I am one of those people who likes to check out 'top' every once in a while for no discernable reason. I imagine that it's somewhat like my impulse to periodically look in the fridge just to see what's in there. (yes ha-ha, perhaps I spend a bit too much time with a computer) I've noticed after a re-start, top reports very low numbers, which makes sense. Everything is fresh. Over time, these these numbers grow. Which, I guess is kinda expected as well but what I'm curious about is: Aren't programs supposed free memory after they have used it? Isn't the gradual accumulation of memory usage sign of a memory leak in one or more applications (rarely, if ever do I see 'zombies')?
