Memory leak?

[Ossama Othman <othman@astrosun.tn.cornell.edu>]

Hi,

I just noticed that my xload indicates a high loads on my hamm
installation.  Running "free" gives the following:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         79508      73404       6104      22504      30104      28484
-/+ buffers/cache:      14816      64692
Swap:        36284          0      36284

I don't recall ever seeing my memory usage get so high.  All I was running
when I did the above "free" was two xterms.  Here is my uptime:

 10:21am  up 22:45,  2 users,  load average: 1.00, 1.08, 1.07

Is this something I should worry about?  Perhaps there is a memory leak
somewhere.  Has anyone else noticed unusually high loads during fairly
idle sessions?

Thanks.
-Ossama
