Hello all Is there a way to turn inactive memory into free memory in freeBSD 3.2. ? I have 512MB of RAM but a significant part (300MB) is only reported as free for a few hours after a reboot, then it becomes "inactive". I think that's why we have a slow system, specially with regard to Pine that takes for ever to close/open a large mailbox, because it spends a lot of time allocating memory (during that time the systems becomes very slow)... Here's the first lines of 'top': last pid: 50917; load averages: 0.03, 0.03, 0.00 up 1+21:35:32 10:46:50 94 processes: 1 running, 93 sleeping CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 100% idle Mem: 32M Active, 419M Inact, 26M Wired, 14M Cache, 8265K Buf, 11M Free Swap: 964M Total, 964M Free Any suggestions, hints ?
