Hi all, I use 5.4 Stable on an i386 machine with xorg 6.8.2 and kde 3.4.0. I have been doing a number of RAM intensive tasks such as converting video files and moving big files (7 or 8 Gb) back and forth over a LAN. I have also installed and configured Wine, although I haven't done much with it just yet. I have 26 Gb on my FreeBSD partition (excluding swap) that is used up at 78%. I notice that when quitting all applications, the RAM used is not released and 476 Mb of RAM out of 512 Mb available are still indicated as being in use. Is FreeBSD not giving back memory when processes are over ? Edward
