Just reporting the 'used' memory (-buffers/cache) reported by 'free'

Before OO starts                   : 155812
After starting OO with a foo.doc   : 188388
% ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep soff
soffice.bin      192372 66100

After 'type a random mispelled word and right click' (I had to trying a
few times at which point CPU usage was 100% for a few sec) : 615164
% ps -eo"comm,vsize,rss" | grep soff
soffice.bin      619132 493692

After stopping OO                   : 162528

- Ok - looks like OO is hogging memory. Perhaps a bug in OO?
