a 5 minute "thing" (dunno yet) that pulls 2-4Megs off the high end
of 124Megs to down to 120Megs or so..and everyonce and awile it 
will go up one or 2 then back down 2-3 and so on..Still no swap
useage (top nor xoview will show it) and my memory useage shown
never drops back to 20Megs or so useage(as if I was just booted

XNest332 running a wm in a box on my main wm/squid/
