I'm just comparing the sizes of processes under an ELF -current and a 2.2.5 system, and my recollections of what my machine used to look like. It seems that a lot more memory is being consumed by the ELF system.. I expected there to be more used by the ELF system, but, not quite that much... e.g. 2.2.5 - Release. PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 294 root 3 0 180K 88K ttyin 0:00 0.00% 0.00% getty 295 root 3 0 180K 88K ttyin 0:00 0.00% 0.00% getty 296 root 3 0 180K 88K ttyin 0:00 0.00% 0.00% getty 18784 akm 18 0 572K 200K pause 0:00 0.00% 0.00% zsh 3.0 - Current. PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 224 root 3 0 1004K 340K ttyin 0:00 0.00% 0.00% getty 223 root 3 0 1004K 340K ttyin 0:00 0.00% 0.00% getty 243 akm 2 0 14084K 10772K select 5:45 7.29% 7.29% XF86_S3V 259 akm 18 0 1228K 592K pause 0:00 0.00% 0.00% zsh Even with more used, I would expect the resident portion to be pretty close to the 2.2.5 a.out. Pre-elf upgrade I'm sure my X server was about half the size, although all the X-libs are pretty big, so I guess it's not that surprising. The X-server is ELF, but the zsh is a.out. Under ELF everything but data is shareable? So most of that 340K (for getty) is actually shared? Should the memory limits in login.conf be upped (doubled?) for ELF systems? -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | Milton ACN: 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 |72 Col .Sig PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|Specialist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
