Actually only 22% of the memory used, even while streaming audio. just the cpu fluctuates feom 0% to 70%

Looking at this prompted me to set the proper date after yesterdays reboot

Strictly speaking, "Linux" can run on 10MB of RAM or less.

Meanwhile, a single web page may need 100MB or more to build the DOM, run all scripts, and keep a buffer of the canvas.
