This is answered in the FAQ already. Point your favorite browser at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.html#TOP-FREEMEM > Also, if its inactive memory, isn't that the same as free? No. A lot of things about the way memory management works in FreeBSD is explained in the excellent article ``Design elements of the FreeBSD VM system'' by Matt Dillon.
