Hi, Ankit:
In my humble opinion:
There is no 'linux 9.0'; perhaps you mean
Red Hat 9.0
Mandrake 9.0
Suse 9.0
Slackware 9.0
Debian 9.0
...
The memory is not 'lost', it has only been used sometime
and will be reallocated if it is needed by another
application. Have you noticed any errors or warnings
about 'low memory' or 'out of memory' ? I am guessing
that you had not had anything fail due to 'memory lost'.
...
'how to reduce this load'
Use a window manager that requires less resources.
What window manager are you using now?
Gnome, KDE, FVWM[2,95],xfce,icebox,twm,...?
...
Yes, xserver, GUI, graphics,... all use very much memory.
...
;-) Do not use GUI environment. ;-)
HTH, Chuck
