It's used as a buffer and as a cache. If you are working with linux, and you do a "free -m" you will see the same. The other day I did this with my arch installation. Only thing open was Firefox, Openbox, and pidign. It was using 1GB of the 4GB. Only thing that means is that it's caching a lot of stuff.

If you feel inspired to try this again, or have any insight into how I might approach this problem from a 'determined to get InstantRails working under Vista Home' standpoint, I'd be grateful! :) I just tried installing InstantRails 1.7 on Vista Home and it errored out on me during startup as follows:

InnoDB: Creating foreign key constraint system tables
InnoDB: Foreign key constraint system tables created
070801 2:47:41 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 0
Cant’ create IP socket: No such file or directory
070801 2:47:41 [ERROR] Aborting

And abort it does. If you feel inspired to try this again, or have any insight into how I might approach this problem from a ‘determined to get InstantRails working under Vista Home’ standpoint, I’d be grateful! :)
