Re: memoryleak?



If these numbers stay fairly constant, they're normal. You're using no swap, so memory's probably not leaking; free memory is being allocated to buffers to improve performance.

Hello

I have xfree86 with gnome running on Ultrasparc 2 (4X300MHZ smp) platform. The system appears to be leaking memory.

here's top:

... (rest of the processes take minimal amount of memory)

gnome system monitor also states that 99,2% of memory is used.

Could someone tell me how to backtrace the leak (or is this normal)?


Timo
