I do. > Any particular culprits of massive memory usage? Well, Netscape grows to 35-40 Mb usage after a while, but that doesn't account for all the memory in use... Also, I killed Netscape couple of days ago (rather: it sig 11'ed itself :-) and now it's at 22 Mb virtual. Once again, (if that's a correct way of counting), adding up everything that 'ps aux' gives me totals to 85112 and 57200 (virtual and resident) at this moment. And pstat -s: Total 196480 141408 55072 72% (in K) Does that look reasonable ? -- -[ Philippe Regnauld / sysadmin / regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk / +55.4N +11.3E ]- "Pluto placed his bad dog at the entrance of Hades to keep the dead IN and the living OUT!
