What command gave you that 91% and 8% information? Are you by any
chance using KDE? Do you have several VM hosts running?
Here's my vmstat for my 16GB machine:
slitt@mydesq2:~$ vmstat -S M
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io----
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo
0 0 0 8313 607 4509 0 0 23 22
slitt@mydesq2:~$ vmstat -S M -a
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io----
r b swpd free inact active si so bi bo
0 0 0 8313 3643 2201 0 0 23 22
slitt@mydesq2:~$
You'll notice I truncated the right hand output, in Vim, so it wouldn't
wordwrap.
