For one - 'free' is a better tool to measure memory usage. And try the following: to see if the memory usage (used -/+ buffers/cache) decreases: free rm /etc/prelink.cache /etc/cron.daily/prelink free You could also run 'slabtop' and look for the memory usage in 'ext3_inode_cache' (and see if it changes) Satish
