well, i used the "free" command while i was running crystal synth (with
"no memory lock" enabled - otherwise, no work) and it gave this output:

 
             total       used       free     shared    buffers    
cached
Mem:        515292     458256      57036          0      11888    
258304
-/+ buffers/cache:     188064     327228
Swap:       666688       1732     664956
 

so yes, i am using way more than half of my ram and a tiny bit of swap
... stupid gkrellm :(

should this be preventing me from using memory lock in jack?
