Memory consumption is not load! And it's pretty normal that Linux uses up all available RAM. Substract the current cache and buffer values and it's more like the classic idea of "free RAM". System load is independent from that and is expressed in the CPU usage numbers e.g. displayed by "top" (I don't use Conky, so I've got no idea how it looks there). When the "idle" value stays at 0%, your machine _is_ likely under heavy load :-). This would also be expressed in the average load display ("top" again), which would indicate with values >1.00 that in average, there's more than one process waiting for the CPU. -hwh --=20 gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
