I recently am experiencing my Fedora 22 installation slowing
considerably as it remains up for several days. I've got 4GB of RAM.
It will start with using maybe 1.5 or GB but eventually will be up
around 2.5GB with 216MB or so in Swap.<br>
<br>
The curious thing is that as I close programs, the swap doesn't seem
to go down and it's not clear whether the computer runs any faster.
I see most of the slowness in Thunderbird, I think. Is this what we
used to call 'memory leak' and accuse Windows of? <br>
<br>
I recently swapped my HDD for a Solid State Drive. I would have
expected this to give me more speed, but the slowing down seems to
have happened after that swap.<br>
<br>
Closing apps has this result:<br>
<br>
RAM Swap<br>
2.5 GB 217MB<br>
Close Firefox<br>
2.3 217<br>
Close Thunderbird<br>
1.8 217<br>
Close Document Reader<br>
1.7 217<br>
Close Calc<br>
1.5 217<br>
Open Thunderbird<br>
1.7 217<br>
