First, a bit of background: When checking our the sources inside haiku
using R5's svn client, the amount of used memory starts to increase
until, it reaches around 1.3 Gb at the end of the checkout process. This
could even be considered ok if it was not for the fact that even after
svn closes, the 1.3 Gb of memory is still in use by the kernel and this
does not go down. As a reference, my machine has 3 Gb of memory usable
by Haiku and around 1.5 Gb are in use by caches when svn finishes. Note
that it is 1.5 Gb of caches plus 1.3 Gb of actual used memory that I see.
Rene pointed to me that I may be misunderstanding the meaning of used
memory and cached memory. He said that used memory includes cached
memory which would explain all the memory I saw allocated after svn
checkout. The problem is that I do get cached memory > used memory from
time to time. Specially when compiling haiku within itself so even with
this in mind, something still looks fishy.
