memory managment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



i have been noticing lately that once i run my system for about a week
my memory has about 14/384 MB RAM free and will not release any of it
unless i close every application i'm running, but it still doesn't
release it all because it's not all being used.  

Is there some way that i can tell the kernel to release any of the
memory that it's not using so that my programs which run insanely fast
when i first start my machine can still run at that speed?

(i'm tempted to get rid of blackbox and every app i use with it, but
then i will only use about 30MB of the memory)
