Re: php4 memory leaks

Sorry guys, this is not a php-fault nor a os-fault. It's a nice feature of Linux. When there if free RAM, then Linux uses nearly the whole free RAM for IO-caching. So the more RAM you put in, the more Linux uses for caching. When an application needs more RAM, then Linux frees cache.
