As far as I know, your system should be stable. The details of how |
2 |
much memory/swap is used at any given moment probably depends on your |
3 |
kernel, how much memory you have, etc. |

Do you have any actual evidence of the slow down you mentioned? the |
6 |
system should begin using swap when/if it needs to. it looks to me |
7 |
like you discovered the "free" command and are seeing problems where |
8 |
none exist. |
