    Are you certain its actual ram usage and not reserved ? Usually when a program requests huge amounts of ram it is not given it until it actually writes to it. Try running free and check what it says.

      Freshly rebooted into tty and used free and used: 618876, the thing that takes the most ram is NetworkManager with 17M of ram

        Ah, I accidentally read over that you used free -m.

        By top 3 services do you also include any programs ? For me htop itself already consumes 10 MB, what other processes are running ?
