Um, I have a very powerful pc, so I get no slow downs. i7-3820 with 16GB of ram. htop reports no CPU usage, but free -m reports some interesting memory consumption. free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 16030 15868 161 0 150 13831 -/+ buffers/cache: 1886 14143 Swap: 0 0 0
I know that "used" is for caching/etc., but 15GB is a bit too much. Downgrading the kernel is not an option because the kernel is patched and downgrading would take just too much. I know have 234 kworkers, without suspending.
Thank you for your answers
This is perfectly normal, and expected, if you haven't rebooted for a while. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. You should care about the "-/+ buffers/cache:" figures instead. -- Pedro Emílio Machado de Brito Engenharia de Computação 2012 - Unicamp Coordenador Tecnológico - Centro Acadêmico da Computação (CACo) (19) 99873-0963 - Facebook/Skype: pedroembrito - Github: pemb 18hxPDGcNDpsYYKJ2aghSh3mm9n3c4C7pf "Repair what you can — but when you must fail, fail noisily and as soon as possible." · Eric S.
