So I'm looking into a complaint from a client about there server
getting unresponsive when their students all login in the morning. I
used sar -r to get today's (I'm assuming) historyical data and grabbed
this pieces from around their start time:

So I'm looking at the memused column and I can see it's sitting in the
90% used range. Would you read this that it's using up to much memory
and getting unresponsive because of it? I just want to make sure that
I'm reading this correctly.
