Hi, I wonder about the slow speed of my machine while top shows ample inactive memory: last pid: 85287; load averages: 2.56, 2.44, 1.68 up 6+10:24:45 10:13:36 191 processes: 5 running, 186 sleeping CPU 0: 47.1% user, 0.0% nice, 51.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 1.6% idle CPU 1: 38.4% user, 0.0% nice, 60.4% system, 0.0% interrupt, 1.2% idle CPU 2: 38.8% user, 0.0% nice, 59.2% system, 0.0% interrupt, 2.0% idle CPU 3: 45.5% user, 0.0% nice, 51.0% system, 0.4% interrupt, 3.1% idle Mem: 677M Active, 5600M Inact, 1083M Wired, 178M Cache, 816M Buf,301M Free Swap: 16G Total, 1352M Used, 15G Free, 8% Inuse The swap space in use can be explained by large compilations done recently. Why is the inactive memory not put to use. I do not want to restart the machine. So, if I could help find the source of the problem, I would do. Erich
