Same here: canek@negra ~ $ uptime 11:01:52 up 5 days, 20:13, 1 user, load average: 0.06, 0.43, 0.50 (It's a laptop that I usually suspend at night). >> And >> this morning, it was using about 750M of memory.

Same here: top - 11:02:40 up 5 days, 20:14, 1 user, load average: 0.12, 0.39, 0.49 Tasks: 163 total, 1 running, 158 sleeping, 0 stopped, 4 zombie Cpu(s): 7.3%us, 2.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 90.2%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.5%si, 0.0%st Mem: 3891064k total, 3214892k used, 676172k free, 36072k buffers Swap: 4192960k total, 708604k used, 3484356k free, 863416k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 631 messageb 20 0 20548 2404 1040 S 0 0.1 1:47.94 dbus-daemon >> But I think the problem is on my side, I run KDE4 with only 8G of memory, no >> wonder I need 1.7G of swap right now. >> </rant> > > I have only 4GB of memory, run kde4, swap is not used at all most of the time. > There are still ~512MB free with ~1,3GB cached currently. > I do have programs running :) firefox with some tabs, kdevelop with a project > (~100.000 LOC), kmail, LibreOffice and 3 konsoles, each with some tabs open. > I know, I am of no help at all, but I really wonder, why your numbers differ > so > significantly from mine. Kinda similar here: GNOME 3.0, Emacs with several LaTeX articles, Evince, Evolution, Rhythmbox, Chromium with like 20 tabs (my 4 zombie processes are Chromium tabs), and the heaviest of all, Inkscape with 6 different SVG pictures. There is something really wrong with Alex D-Bus; but I don't think it's the bus. Probably some program is spamming the bus, making it use that much memory, but I don't know for sure.
