16 GB RAM here, uptime 18.5 days. compressed memory currently sitting
at 3.49 GB.

It's running OS X Server with services I haven't used since boot, such as
Wiki and Web servers.  There's also VMware Fusion with a couple of Linux
VMs, but I have stuff currently running in those at the moment.

I did try closing all apps except for Terminal a day or two ago and
compressed memory went down to 2.35 GB or so.  Swap currently used is
1.21 GB.

It would be interesting to have a means of seeing what is where because as
I mentioned previously my VMs when left alone for long enough take some
of prodding to give me adequate response times: the fastest way I have
found so far is to suspend and resume the VMs or reboot them.  I might be
falling foul of energy saving options in the client VM systems here.

P.S. I am currently chucking around files of up to 2 GB (some of those
being edited in Amadeus Pro) so my file buffers are getting exercised.
