See any FAQ on the Linux memory management - memory is reclaimed when
needed not when nobody is using it. That makes things more efficient.

Some RHEL3 kernels had a problem with very large memory sizes and 2.4.
That should not be the case in the current RHEL3 kernels. 2.6 handles
very large systems a lot lot better, and of course the fact real
computers now have 64bit processors has also rather improved life.
