Then you are not running out of memory. The kernel likes to leave all the
memory allocated. It uses it for a disk cache and just gives it to user
programs as necessary. You'll get "can't get a free page" messages on
console when you really start to run out. Normally this will happen when
your swapfile gets really full, or when all your processes are trying to
run at once.
