I subscribe Alexey's comments.

I've just started my laptop and the only things I've done are installing
today's and yesterday's updates (54), create a tarball via Nautilus, check
my e-mail and edit a LaTeX file (didn't compile it). This is the output of
free:

$ free -m
              total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 503 451 52 0 51 233
-/+ buffers/cache: 166 336
Swap: 517 33 483

And the uptime is...

$ uptime
  10:20:05 up 23 min, 2 users, load average: 0.02, 1.02, 1.37

Fortunately, since my gutsy system is installed from scratch, I didn't get
the incredible slowdown in responsiveness I used to get on a dist-upgraded
machine.
