[ale] KDE System Guard (was Linux desktop inefficiencies...)

[CB Genrich]

Along these lines,

I use KDE System Guard.  By default the graph labeled
"Physical Memory" comes along plotting three values:

  mem/physical/application
  mem/physical/buf
  mem/physical/cached

I have observed that buf and cached pretty much need to
fit in RAM with application, or my system starts to bog
down (or did before I went to 768M).

What do these things plot?  What do they mean?
