[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch on a laptop listening on 127.0.0.1 and memory consumption

[Peter P GMX]

It's linux, yes.
The way I got around the problem that memory may not be freed is:

    * to reboot the system.
    * look for used memory
    * start FS
    * look for used memory
    * calculate the difference

That way it showed 24-25M which I can understand.

Best regards
Peter
