Thanks to all who responded. I am familiar with the FAQ and what it says about memory handling. This is my first time with installed RAM over 8 Gig in an AMD environment so I was just making sure there wasn't something going on that looked odd to anyone else.

I've never noticed this (the slow decline of Free) before on any

haven't noticed it, but I don't know.

FreeBSD has worked like that for a long time, it doesn't free memory as
long as there's a better use for it. It just maintains a few percent
free for interrupt handling.
It's in the FAQ.
