I was monitoring the memory usage before and after execution of

Is this normal (am I doing it right?)?
What are you monitoring, and how ?

It is i normal that freeing memory does not change the resource
consumption of the process. The freed memory will be available for
reuse by malloc, but malloc does not immediately return the memory to
the OS.

So I'll try allocating like.... 7GB of memory to fill up the ram, after finishing, it should free. I'll report back.
