My MacBook Pro has 8G RAM. Recently memory leak offen happened. Page outs and swap used kept increasing. The last time it used ~8G swap space. But in Activity Monitor, I can't find any process has a large value in 'Real Mem', 'Private Mem' nor 'Shared Mem' column. I checked the %MEM column in output of 'ps -ev', all processes occupied less than 1% of memory. The full output is put in this gist: https://gist.github.com/aleung/4760556 What the way to diagnose OSX memory leak issue?
