Re: how much memory is too much... for X?
I see this type of behavior after lots of window open and closes with
large memory consuming windows(MATLAB plots with lots of points). After
a while X starts sucking up all my memory and swap. I simply restart
the window manager, not restart X, and the memory is freed. So it may
be a X or window-manager issue or both. But not having to restart X is
nice.
