I can't seem to get mine below 5GiB, according to top. This is when I stop Xorg and most system services, including networking and such, and just log in to a plain terminal with nothing but top running. Is this normal? The numbers listed per process in top don't even add up to that, but it reports the total being high. Also, icecat uses a 1000m and gnome-terminal uses 500m. This seems wrong to me, but I'm not sure. In my session right now it is reporting over 14GiB of memory use. I don't know why it should be so high. -Rodger
