 asmem: 370476 71%
 The -used option shows as calulated by asmem:
 asmem -used: 1448856 28%
 Now the -asis option shows the values as read from device:
 asmem -asis: 122760 25%
 -Used -Asis shows the used memory values as read from device:
 asmem -used -asis: 382572 74%
 
 It also takes a long time for the non -asis values to become correct.
 
 Free reads:
 dsl@box:~$ free
 total         used         free       shared      buffers
 Mem:    515332    382632   132700          0         3948
 Swap:       0              0             0
 Total:    515332    382632   132700
 
 So now I run it as:
 asmem -used -asis -withdrawn -bg black -fg red -memory red &>/dev/null &
 
 The default launch for this chould be changed to this for the next version of DSL, imho, because -used -asis is more accurate and would show a better representation of the bar in asmem (which, if I recall correctly, used to switch around what was shown on the little bar when the different options were used, but doesn't now)
