Here is the RAM usage on my 11 day uptime F14 laptop $ sudo ps_mem.py¹ Private + Shared = RAM used Program 1.9 MiB + 252.5 KiB = 2.1 MiB NetworkManager [updated] 7.0 MiB + 1.6 MiB = 8.6 MiB nm-applet [updated] I notice both were updated so restarting gives: $ sudo ps_mem.py 1.4 MiB + 290.0 KiB = 1.7 MiB NetworkManager 2.6 MiB + 1.3 MiB = 3.9 MiB nm-applet [1] http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/ps_mem.py -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
