Memory not being released after Load testing

Hi,

I thought of posting this as a new topic as, my previous problem related to creation of unlimited java processes got solved.

Now when we start the JBoss server it consumes around 27% of total memory. When we start Load Testing it goes upto 44%
After load test is over it comes down to 42%.
After this it is not at all releasing memory even if it is idle for 12 hrs.

Has anybody faced similar problem?

We are using 512MB RAM and LINUX 7.1 operating system.

Any help on this is truly appreciated.

Regards,
Priti

I don't know if i have a solution to your problem, but i am too having the problem and i came across a link which had the answer to my question. In linux there are shared and cached memory, so the memory which is not getting free is allocated here. Please vivit the following link for a more detailed answer...

But, i am looking as to how can we free the shared and cached memory and will this have an adverse effect on the total performace. If you come across the answer to this question then pls do let me know.
