What do you mean by "memory usage"? As free memory is wasted memory
Linux uses available memory for caching.
diesch@vogon:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 256576 239792 16784 0 68068 42508
-/+ buffers/cache: 129216 127360
Swap: 264560 828 263732
means:
I have 256576 bytes mem, of which 239792 are used and 16784 are free.
129216 bytes of the used mem are used for caching, so 127360 additional
bytes are available for apps if needed.
