Hello! I've observed a VERY strange behaviour of a moderately-to-heavy loaded system (load average about 5.7 on a 2xPII-400 with 512Mb of RAM): (I have no access to the box right now, and I'm giving only general details; however, I'll be able to produce more details next morning) About 200-300 processes (230-280, something always creates and dies), some swapping (I recall 36% right now), and the most strange thing: always some (4-14M) of free RAM, and about 100 pageins per second. Most of processes are modperl'ed Apaches and self-written POP3 readers. I have no good understanding of such behaviour. Unfortunately I cannot find my "UNIX Internals: The New Frontier" for several days, so I'm really limited on books. Maybe some kind soul will tell me how can system behave that way? Alex.
