Okay, another datapoint... PowerBook3,2 500MHz, 2.4.20-ben10,
30 processes, no load. top -d1 takes 2.9% cpu, top -d0.5 takes
5.6%.
Starting X... 37

Don't look at memory usage of X, it is normal that top or ps report
very high amounts ; X does not really use this memory. Search google
for "XFree86 3dfx map memory", I think you will find the explanation.
Great.. I'll do that.. thanks..

Another related qn.. the memory usage statistic using top doesn't show
memory freeing up after I close some heavy duty programs like Openoffice
and mozilla that I had running.. so in effect, the memory usage grows
till almost 100% of the memory is used up but it never comes back down..
so I s

Hi.. I've noticed that the XFree86 process on my ibook is taking up a
decent chunk of memory and some CPU and this seems to be slowing down my
machine a bit .. when I do 'top', XFree86 is a process that's constantly
at the top of the list.. the process itself, when I do a ps shows up as:
