	I don't know how it all works internally either, but I have seen the same thing when one has alot of RAM. I found out that the kernel will just keep everything cached just incase it needs it, but the memory is actually available.
	I run an extremely stream-lined system (LFS, cut out everything not needed, no GNOME, no KDE), yet I rarely have much free memory (with 256MB available).

	It never hurts to double check for leaks, but I've discovered that one can't really look at /proc/meminfo for this.
