[kwlug-disc] Memory Issue

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Firefox consumes less memory when you configure it for 1 content process,
vs. the
default (which is the number of cores in your CPU).

With that, you are using 2.1GB out of 3.75GB. If you set your swappiness to
be 5%,
then there should be no swapping until 95% of RAM is in use.

Now try Atom, and see if it will fit in what remains of free memory, and
take an image
of htop and add it to the same folder (e.g. Firefox1ProcAndAtom).
