I booted my system this morning. During the day, it did not much
else than light mail trafic. At 3 pm I noticed from the unresponsivness
of the system that not everything was quite the same as in the
morning. Memory usage 200MB, free 56. Quite large numbers for
xfs_inode and inode_cache in /proc/slabinfo.
It runs a cvs copy from May 22 11.00 AM, EST (8 PM GMT).
I would try a later copy if cvs server let me check it out but
cvs update -d does not work any longer as it used to.
