Jussi,
You don't get me. If the os start taking all the
memory and swap and nothing left, your machine will
freez.
It suppose to free all the memory that have not been
use instead eat a bit by bit until nothing left..
It seem that the same issue since update 3...
Anyone... is there any way to free unused memory??
Thanks,
comot.
