RAM Cache always full
- by Tobias
I have 6GB RAM, i5 2.4GHZ Processor running Ubuntu 11.10.
When streaming online or opening several tabs in Chromium I soon have 4GB Memory in the cache.
And this makes my Notebook slow. When streaming a video, after a few minutes it really slows down and stumbles/jerks.
I partitioned my HD so that I have 8GB swap.
What could the problem be?
How can I solve this?
P.s: initially I had 4gb and recently upgraded to 6GB, but I did not experience a significant change.
P.P.S: if I enter "free -g" in the terminal this is the result:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 5 2 3 0 0 0
-/+ buffers/cache: 1 4
Swap: 8 0 8
