Ah ok. That's the « Linux ate my ram » story. It 
allocates as much cache as it can then releases 
it when needed. So the available 5.2G will be 
mainly for the asset cache, until some process 
claims more memory. 16Gigs seems enough, however 
I will feel better with some spare RAM for future 
extensions.


Thanks Dahlia, thanks Michael.
