Leave =E2=80=98top -S=E2=80=99 running, and set it to sort the processes by=
resident set size (type
=E2=80=98o=E2=80=99 and then =E2=80=98res=E2=80=99<enter>). Then you should=
be able to tell which process is
eating all your memory. If it is a multithreaded process like Firefox, run
=E2=80=98top -SH=E2=80=99 to narrow the problem down.
