Memory use

[thedogfarted]

does it uses swap space for accelerating everything too?? because now it 
has "eaten" all avilable memory and starts to "eat" swap space. Until 
this i've never seen anything in my swap partition, now there are 44M.

just wondering if there is a way to see how much each program uses memory
