I'm using 13.10 stock, so Unity. I'll have to catch it again to see how
much MB it's using of RAM, but it bogs the whole system down to a crawl.
Mostly reads, but some writes.
I have 2GB RAM, DDR2:
thufir@dur:~$ free -h
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2.0G 1.6G 320M 174M 55M 884M
but this is when everything is fine.
thanks,
Thufir
