Arthur!
On the 1st of September 2006 I wrote to you:
...
I think everything is fine with the memory consumption.
The important line is:
-/+ buffers/cache: 446908 587668
which shows -as I said before - that there is 587668 kBytes not in use.
...
Now you have
-/+ buffers/cache: 399564 635012
which shows that you have 635012 (more than 60%) kBytes available !!!!!!
So this time, you even have more available memory than the last time
you asked !!!!!!!!!!
