I didn't realize until recently, just how big SystemD logs were, and how quickly they grow in Series 4.x
Lite Tweaks to the rescue!
Coming in 4.8

Hey Jerry,
Am a bit confused regarding this tweak.
Would you please be so kind and give some background information?
I've learned that the system is managing and utilizing the memory as efficiently as possible. And it's not a bad sign that the physical memory is utilized as much as possible to increase access speed (referring to the difference between used and active memory -> vmstat -s). The only way that makes sense to influence the memory usage as a user and avoid undesired swappping is basically to close applications and stop unnecessary services and use a lightweight (desktop) system itself, to reduce the load on the system by being mindful of how many applications are run in parallel.
Here two links reflecting what I knew so far:
http://serverfault.com/questions/597115/why-drop-caches-in-linux
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/87908/how-do-you-empty-the-buffers-and-cache-on-a-linux-system
Open to learn something new though... :)

Thank you, torreydale. Does LL ship without root user activated?
torreydale:
TRIM (or fstrim) is already installed. To configure it to run on each boot, and to see a log file of its results, see the Help Manual.
Menu > Favorites > Help Manual, and then select:
* Install (or Install Guide)
and then
* Enabling TRIM on your SSD
bayoubooger:
Install Trim for SSD drives?
