    The salt on the wound is when people say “unused RAM is wasted RAM”, which is true, but often used incorrectly:

    “”“unused”“” memory is used by filesystem caches, and when an application allocates and writes 10x the memory it needs to, the OS cannot use it for caches anymore - thus wasting it.
