Hello

When I check the memory usage, with the graphical tools such as KDE
system guard, or with the ps command, I seem to have multiple instances of
java, Mozilla and Evolution running. There are 4 Mozillas processes at
about 50000 bytes each, and 4 Evolutions with 51,000 each.

I have 528 megs of ram in the machine. Using the free command, shows only
6788 free, and 508084 used. Why are these applications hogging so much
memory? Same as other tools show.

How can I be using so much memory, and even using swap with only a browser
and email client running?

Thanks

Harry
