Just installed FreeBSD 4.3 and made my box stable. Last world was build this morning.

Because I think something is terribly wrong. The box has 256MB of RAM but as I look at the memory utilization all the RAM is used and swap may go to 1%(total swap 515MB) Even after closing the apps my mem does not come down. No errors are reported :( Is that a memory leak? Oh, using KDE 2.1.1. Nothing major running just normal use, like browsing the www or using GTV Mpeg player. Even on console mode, since i dont boot to KDE, a simple ls command will be noticeably slow. Perhaps, this is normal ! I have been doing some reading, searching newsgroups and asking friends. But I haven’t been looking in the right places since I still have no idea of the problem. I am not asking for anybody to do the work for me but simply to point me in the right direction. All the junk I included was for information and maybe someone will see what is not obvious to me. Also, I have installed the OS like 5 times, build world just as many and hack the kernel another 8.
