Hi,
Using the xmm2 utility I am noticing much more space staying allocated in the active list with pre7. Now meminfo reports:
MemTotal: 514136 kB MemFree: 4868 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 53572 kB Cached: 315584 kB SwapCached: 16000 kB Active: 318600 kB Inactive: 145476 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 514136 kB LowFree: 4868 kB SwapTotal: 1056760 kB SwapFree: 1010700 kB
Which is not at all what I would expect given the logic in shrink_caches. The active list does shrink under pressure but stays _much_ larger than it did in pre6 and below.
