Any chance the memory usage might be dependent on the setup - IMAP or POP accounts, indexing etc ?
Will it not simply go into swaping? You have to tell top to also display swap.
Try it. In my case above, 0 swap in use.
I did try it a month or two ago, and it was not better. It began to swap earlier.
If David is right in his theory that TB basically uses available memory, and that for machines with large amounts of memory this becomes a problem, cgroups ought to fix it.
I will try again. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
