1 >From what I understand, Linux memory isn't freed up until it is full.
2 Is there a way to find out how much memory is actively in use? It
3 would also be useful to know the maximum amount of memory that was
4 actively in use over a given period of time.

6 Also, I've noticed in top that when my server's 2GB of memory is
7 filled, it uses a small amount of swap (~24k) before it frees some up.
8 The "Swap: 24k" then remains. Is that normal?
