Hello

/kernel: CPU: Intel Celeron (397.95-MHz 686-class CPU)
/kernel:   Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x68a  Stepping = 10
/kernel:   Features=0x383f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE>
/kernel: real memory  = 805306368 (768 MB)
/kernel: avail memory = 775344128 (739 MB)

If I look in the system summary, all memory seems to be in use:

alf at M7i.ffm> show system processes summary 
last pid: 37152;  load averages:  0.15,  0.09,  0.08  up 67+03:19:19    03:56:10
125 processes: 4 running, 105 sleeping, 16 waiting
Mem: 486M Active, 70M Inact, 147M Wired, 24M Cache, 69M Buf, 14M Free
Swap: 1536M Total, 79M Used, 1457M Free, 5% Inuse

and the system seems to swap, cause less memory. The reaction of the
cli has often a slow start which is likely for swapping ...

If I look deeper:
alf at M7i.ls> show task memory detail
...
    Dynamically allocated memory:  335396864      Maximum: 366436352
         Program data+BSS memory:    4349952      Maximum:   4349952
              Page data overhead:    2154496      Maximum:   2154496
             Page directory size:     360448      Maximum:    360448
                                  ----------
              Total bytes in use:  342261760 (55% of available memory)

all seems to be fine and much memory is waiting for more ...
Can someone give my some light in the darkness ?

Thanks and regards, ALF
