Since I moved from Linux to FreeBSD I was a bit surprised when I found out that FreeBSD programs use far more memory that their similars in Linux. At the moment I have 16MB of RAM and with only 9 processes running (3 gettys, syslogd, cron, inetd and system procs like swapper or init) I only get (with top) 7MB of free memory particioned by 5MB for cache and 2MB for buffer... The strange thing is that a 'ps aux' shows that this 9 processes use 4MB. Is this normal? - Cheers, Jorge
