After clearing the caches (/sbin/sysctl vm.drop_caches=3), one of my amd64 console-only systems uses about 94MiB. With apache2 and samba running, dropping the cache brings it down to about 105MiB. I've noticed that 64-bit Wheezy likes to cache a lot more in RAM. Without doing much on my 64-bit Wheezy XFCE desktop, it has built up to 2.8GiB used (1.1GiB cached, 740MiB buffers); dropping the cache reduces mem usage to about 620MiB. This is a departure from 32-bit Squeeze with PAE and KDE which never used that much memory 'doing nothing', though it might be that 32-bit+PAE performs cache-usage computations sees only 4GiB RAM (32-bit) rather than all 8GiB. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
