Very simple. Unused processes are better in swap. Look how many mgetty's
you have? How ofter you use them? What ab

But ofcourse.
Suppose you open an app that is very heavy on memory usage.
Sure enough - almost everything is thrown int

Actually, in ideal case memory usage should be 100%. Why you need memory
that isn't used? If it isn't used by the processes, OS
hives (maybe
someone will find it helpful).

Just recently I started generating graph's of system resource usage on some
of my linux machines. On a certain group of machines I noticed a steady
level of between 90% and 100% memory usage (while at the same time, swap
usage remains flat at 0%). Here is an example of what top shows on this Red
