Not it doesn't, it looks like a very comfortably loaded server.

Yeah ... maybe I went too fast, in the original email "column headers" were out of kilt; my apologies. However, the example I gave of the "sandbox" shows very different results which is why I mentioned MemCache. I'm not claiming that this is the only reason, but this list is probably not the right place to discuss other checks (e.g. cat /proc/swaps, vmstat, htop) for memory management.

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1955       1881         73          0         15       1350

It has 2GB RAM, 3GB swap. 514MB RAM (~25%) is in use, and 2MB swap (more
or less nothing) is in use. So it's got plenty of room to breathe. The
key line is the one that starts with '-/+ buffers/cache' as it's the one
that's ignoring cache, which is what you want to do when looking at
memory usage.

Looking at one of our servers that's similarly specced and not usually
too busy:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          2012       1885        127          0         71       1410
-/+ buffers/cache:        402       1610
Swap:         2045          0       2045

it's really very close.

So Zoe, your server is totally fine RAM-wise
