I wonder if I am the only one experiencing this?
No. I didn't tried to debug it as I switch between installations often enough, but I'll post 'free' output when it happens.
/proc/meminfo would probably be more interesting
The systems posted so far have been 32 bit systems. I wonder if this happens on 64 bit.
I have seen issues with systems running out of lowmem memory. Maybe this has something to do with it
It could be.
I'm now in 32 bit installation (box is Athlon 64) and swap is not used.
One of reasons to switch to 32 bit was that 1 GB (-128 MB video) is tight with 64 bit running virtual machine with 400 MB and system was swapping and usage was growing fast. Now I don't see any, but I'm watching how it works.

System was not used between 2 outputs for hours, though, it was probably running daily cron jobs.
Currently (after another few hours) when system was used:

The /proc/meminfo shows different for 1) and 2) MemFree:71220 kB Some 400 MB was used by virtual machine, so 'free' report seems way out of line. It is OK for the rest of the system, but I can't see this 400 MB as used.
The interesting part from meminfo is LowFree. If that gets very very low, the memory pressure will be high on the machine regardless of how much highmem is free Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
