@matradley - Pre-allocation does ring a bell. I remember it is one of the reasons why disabling the swap file actually makes your memory usage less efficient. Since the OS needs to pre-allocate some memory, it means that without a swap file present, the OS will not use 100% of the memory as some of it has been reserved.
Doesn't the nix type systems act like Windows setup in server mode and reserve all the memory for system usage? I guess it is to do with how the OS is setup.
