Following up on some of the things you've mentioned, i did some googling and now i think i get it - i'm not too familiar with the way that linux reports memory usage, so it caught me off guard. As far as ClarkConnect itself is concerned, it's a modified RH8 derivate that is intended for use purely as a firewall/gateway and nothing else. ~ I was experiencing intense performance problems on it previously with 96Mb, although i had been assured that it should run just fine with that. So, post-upgrade, i was shocked to see memory use up again. At any rate, there's no performange problem with the new setup, but since i thought it was a program problem, I was figuring i'd fix it preemtively. Thanks again for the very educational reply.
