Can you repeat this without any apps (seamonkey, k3b) running, and with the full output of top? It's not clear from here where you're getting the 650MB
An OS that's not running any apps not not that useful, nor representative for resource usage. OK, I only ran seamonkey (Using a Internet browser seems quite standard usage these days). Here's an updates top. Even the "RES" seems a bit high (e.g. 17MB for an applet that stores tiny notes; complete OS/2 needed less memory): PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4061 xxx12345 22 7 144m 59m 9872 S 5.3 17.4 1:00.41 beagled 4011 xxx12345 18 0 143m 15m 10m S 0.0 4.6 0:12.13 nautilus 3680 root 25 0 138m 988 760 S 0.0 0.3 0:00.32 nscd 4215 xxx12345 15 0 133m 53m 18m S 0.0 15.6 2:06.77 seamonkey-bin 4091 xxx12345 17 0 119m 13m 10m S 0.0 3.9 0:02.93 nm-applet 4072 xxx12345 19 0 107m 13m 9624 S 0.7 4.0 0:10.86 main-menu 4010 xxx12345 15 0 101m 12m 9456 S 0.0 3.6 0:05.46 gnome-panel 4078 xxx12345 15 0 100m 11m 8700 S 0.0 3.2 0:02.21 mixer_applet2 4154 xxx12345 25 0 99176 13m 4552 S 0.0 3.9 0:13.05 evolution-data- 2840 root 15 0 93504 16m 6268 S 1.7 4.9 2:02.94 X 4076 xxx12345 18 0 67680 12m 9668 S 0.0 3.6 0:08.54 intlclock-apple 4068 xxx12345 16 0 61944 6660 5684 S 1.7 1.9 0:24.74 gnome-cups-icon 4074 xxx12345 17 0 58780 17m 12m S 0.0 5.0 0:09.33 tomboy 4040 xxx12345 15 0 49596 15m 12m S 0.0 4.6 0:05.77 beagle-search 5198 xxx12345 39 19 46600 18m 8548 S 0.0 5.4 1:08.36 beagled-helper -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
