I didn't mean restart the computer, just restart the app.  Keep in mind
that Linux uses memory a lot differently than windoze.  It is very
efficient.  I can truthfully say this since I have had uptimes as long
as 10 months, the longer Linux runs, the faster it gets, especially
after a few days of normal use.  Using cache is really a good thing.  I
have 1GB of ram here and it doesn't take long to fill that up with disk
cache.  It makes a huge difference on start times for big apps like Open
Office, Gimp etc etc.  That is really a good thing.

It's working as it should I am fairly sure of that.  I wouldn't be to
concerned unless something takes up all your memory.
