Try htop from http://htop.sourceforge.net instead of top... Very nice and easy way to see memory usage. Both Sean and Randall have pointed out that all is looking good on your system. htop just does top one better IMO.
Thanks for the tip. I found SuSE RPMs at http://rpm.pbone.net/. Simply search for "htop" and the SuSE RPMs are the first four in the returned search results. RPMs are available for SuSE 8.2, 9.0, 9.1 and 9.2.
My first impression is that it's indeed superior to stock "top."
Can you suggest the best way to view htop output? For routine CLI purposes, I use Konsole with black text on a white background. This does not seem to be optimal w.r.t. the color scheme used by htop, and it does not appear that its color scheme is configurable--at least there's no mention of it on the Web site or in the man page.
