I'm now using swap again for the first time since my last reboot. |
12 |
It's currently at 1036k, but that is guaranteed to keep increasing. |

Here's what I don't understand. |

|
16 |
total used free shared buffers cached |
17 |
Mem: 978 731 246 0 164 226 |
18 |
-/+ buffers/cache: 340 637 |
19 |
Swap: 494 1 493 |

If I'm reading that right, I'm only *using* using 340MB. Why doesn't |
22 |
the system get rid of some of the inactive stuff in memory so I don't |
23 |
have to use more and more swap and slow down my system? |
