The top command has columns like TOTAL FREE USED BUFF/CACHE and the first quantity equals the sum of the other three. This implies, at least from a book-keeping perspective, it works the same as Windows. The malloc.c code differs between the Windows and Linux versions, in the time measurement code. Not in the malloc and memory filling parts. And this is the result of testing on Linux. 120144 MB 43.035967 sec # Malloc test after a reboot 120144 MB 43.139267 sec # Malloc after System Read Cache full (system read cache gets purged by this...) It's true that the behavior looks better, but... Linux is slower. During compile, the same optimization level is used in both environments. The reason the memory amount is lower, is the malloc-linux program has to be stopped before the OOM-killer is triggered. The same code on Windows, simply exits when the last malloc call fails to allocate memory. Paul
