How can I check this? I suspect this should be part of the OS (Linux)? Could
you give me any keyword to read more about this?

I looked at /proc/meminfo after the first and second batch of requests.
The newly allocated memory is categorized as "Active(anon)":

> Active:            36976 kB
> Inactive:          59280 kB
> Active(anon):      34376 kB

vs.
