Hi list!
I have a bit of a problem. I'm on KDE-4.4.5 and it eats memory for
breakfast. 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.
This is my free -m:

I have less memory installed but if I understand this correctly, I have
more trouble than he does. This install is a few years old and my rig
is several years old. It's been doing fine so far. I'm also using the
same KDE.
Currently running, KDE, Seamonkey and a nice emerge of a video package.
The compile process is using the most memory at the moment.
