Both are running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. I noticed that after two weeks uptime my PWS uses a lot more memory than the PIII (and running the same amount of programs). At a moment it even used 350MB of swap. The memory usage just keeps increasing. The intel doesn't do that. Why is this? Is this a difference between the alpha/intel architecture of FreeBSD or is it something else? Marco -- "I have the simplest tastes.
