What you are seeing looks normal to me. To understand better what is happening is more data. You say you have data that shows something but in a non scientific way. But this translates to me to you having a feeling, which I don't share based on that data. So if you want help or a better explanation your only way is to give more and more detailed data. At a minimum the while memory line from top not only the "free memory:" column, which by itself gives completely incomplete information. It would be better if you could give the time evolution of that line. before launching asterisk, some samples while it is running and you are doing some tests, and after closing it. Other tools like vmstat can give more detailed information, but I'm not very good at deciphering that data, but it could be very useful anyway for people more expert about the VM system to give you an explanation or be convinced that there is actually something strange going on. In other words I'm sorry to say you need to give more scientific proof of your feeling. There's nothing personal in this. -- Guido Falsi
