and I have a slightly related Q... lately I needed to hand in a few Java
Applets as excercises for school, I sadly turned on Java support in
Netscape, knowing it will get it stuck (and it does get stuck a lot,
eating 99% of the CPU, leaking memory and eating the entire swap
partition, dies only with SIG 9)
the problem is that many times the netscape process leaks over 200Meg of
swap, but it remains "used" once I kill the process. the RAM is freed,
but the machine is heavy as hell because it won't free up the swap and
swap back in all the other apps.
any idea how I force the machine to reclaim swap memory from dead
processes?
