Ha.  Lucky.  I've got 512 real and ~1G swap.  Right *now* (there was a
recent hw addition, so it's not full like normal :-) it's running
501/74.  Usually it's 500+/300+.

Cause: two full xsessions one usually mozilla + maybe a few apps, the
other full bore web development.

Unrelatedly, is it bad when your monitor suddently decides to readjust
itself and has occasional sporadic 30 pix high side-side fuzzes?

Thought so.
