Running FC4 kernel 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp. I seem to accumulate a large

apps. My memory stastics (xosview) says I have gobs of free memory but
after a while, even with a gig or more of free RAM my swap goes up to
several hundred megabytes and things slow way down. The disk swaps
madly and then backs off for a while. It seems to be cyclic in nature
but the swap never goes away until a reboot. At all times I have in
excess of a gig of free RAM. The only apps I'm running are Firefox,
Thunderbird, openoffice 2.0, perhaps a music player on this machine
under KDE 3.5.0.
AFAIK Mozilla (and probably derivitives) leak memory fairly badly. I've
reported it to mozilla.org (as have others), but not knowing how not to
have the problem I can't describe to them how to have the problem, and
they didn't seem very interested.
Here are my memory hogs:
