About

xmemuse is a small memory monitor written by Harm Arts. It displays a scrolling chart of RAM and swap usage, reading statistics from /proc/meminfo.

Red shows used RAM, orange cached memory (including reclaimable slab), yellow buffers, green free RAM, blue used swap and white free or unavailable swap.

The chart height represents RAM plus the largest swap allocation observed.
