Re: Memory Consuming Application

Not sure of an application (other than the old Mozilla builds :)) but a
simple application to use a lot of memory is pretty easy.  IE create a lot
of char * pointers until it is sufficiently filled (not sure the call to
test free mem etc, but /proc/meminfo has values that work), then swap the
values in the arrays to try the IO, rinse repeat until memory is tested as
you want it :)
