It is possible that Mozilla was running also, I do not know for sure, but it
is probably better than 50% likely that it was sitting idle too, therefore it
may have had a refreshing banner ad or something.
Top says I have exactly 386568K RAM
I have 602396K swap, usually 34088K used or so. ( Rule of thumb 2 X RAM )
My behavior remains pretty constant, I have not seen this until now with
RC1.
I am right now burning RC2 CD's so I will not be RC1 very much longer if
there is something I should look at in more detail.
FYI - I also have 2 NIC's like another recent post involving Unreal
Tournament. I do not have Unreal Tournament however, but one
of my NIC's is indeed Idle. ( You never know... )
