      Hi, im running the newest pfsense release on p2 400 mhz 386 mb ram, no packages installed.

      When it boots up, it say 24 % memory usage 100 states.

      Right now, it is 52 % memory  usage, 132 states
      I rebooted it last night and it was all the way up to 84% memory usage, still not very many states?

      Does anyone know what could be taking up the memory?  Thanks, I would rather not do an entire reinstall.

      thanks,
      Zack

        run "top" from the shell (hit 8 to exit from the shellmenu first). It will show you running processes and the memory that they are using.

          And we also assume your on 1.0.1.  If you are not, please upgrade.
