Instead of misinterpreting the output of "top", better have a look at the second output line of "free", or run "xosview", and observe how much of your otherwise unused RAM is used for buffers and cache *temporarily*. And that swap space is used although the system is not short on memory has been the nature of the 2.4 kernels so far. I agree with mschwendt's comment - chances are you are misinterpreting the numbers, especially considering that named passed all our tests and the named running on bero.org (primary for 93 domains, secondary for 16 others) is using up just 4 MB RAM after 214 days of uptime. |
