Hi, I have the almost the same problem, but somehow this happens only with = my mac. (!) I have an optimization algorithm to run, and when i run it under linux = it works well and never fills up all the available ram, when i run it = with my mac (exactly the same notebook) after a short time it regularly starts to fill a huge swapfile. I use mathematica 7, the mathkernel is the 64 bit version. How can I release memory without quitting the mathkernel?
