Hi Patrik,

Here is the result of the free command, executed in QKview > Commands.

             total          used          free       buffers        cached
Mem:        4061476       3990056         71420        384344        633064
-/+ buffers/cache:        2972648       1088828
Swap:       1048568         20192       1028376

Here we can see that swap was being used. Any clue?

Thanks, Darshan
