here is a little more info from my machine.. i suspect the behavior will be
more pronounced either this evening or tomorrow morning as my machine will have
been up longer. The machine has been mostly idle, no processes appear to be
leaking, yet more and more ends up being pushed into swap space. After a day
or two more, the "free" memory listed in /proc/meminfo will drop to around 4M
and the "cached" memory drops down to around 40M or so. The majority of
process memory ends up being moved into swap space and the machine starts to
slowly grind. I'll see if i can leave this up another day or two and post
some more numbers then.
