The OS is caching things in memory to raise the chance that it won't need to go to the disc to get the data. Most of this cached data will be "clean", meaning it is not data that needs to be written back to the disc, and so if the OS needs more memory for fresh data these pages can be discarded instantly, at negligible cost. So don't worry about it. It is normal and desirable. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Machine, you are about to be lobotomised, please don't take it personally.
