Is that 500MB that "vanished" in used, buffers, or cached? Just
because it isn't listed in "free" doesn't mean it isn't "free" from
a "Available memory I can use" standpoint. For example, your
system
will reclaim memory from cached and buffers when it runs out of
"free".
off my original discovery, a few restarts of apache/pg and i started
running into swap- like the original poster.
i haven't been able to run memory down that low on purpose yet-- if
you've got any clues into examining the cache/buffers , I'll gladly
give it a go.
