Julian,

there is a heavy formating problem with your mail with my mail-client. I
suppose free -m looks like this:

output:jason:~ free -m
               total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3950 3939 11 0 203 3263
-/+ buffers/cache: 473 3477
Swap: 2054 26 2028

I'd say your system is fine since a large amount of memory is used for
caching only and would AFAIK be freed if a process asks for memory.
I think, depending on IO traffic speed could suffer if buffer/cache free
would get scarce.

That's what I think were the results of my researches a couple of years
ago. I'd really like to know if this is definitely true, since these
questions come up in our company very often.

Thanks
Matthias
