i'm wondering if the reason that the problem doesn't occur for the first
few hours is that when you first boot up not much memory has been used and
then set inactive and such. like right now, i just upgraded to 5.3beta6,
and since i booted up i have 484mb free. when the problem was last occuring i
had almost no memory free, most of it was set to cached or inactive. ideas?
comments?
