The Swap: 24k then remains. Is that normal?
Yes I have also notice that after a heavy ram use I get this tiny
space used on my swap.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for all this lightening
Have a good day,

So once your system has started to use swap space, some memory pages will
always stay in your swap space because things are paged in again only if they
are used.

The man is not very extensive.
Has Anyone more info on configuration of the file /etc/sysctl.conf ?
especially for :
vm.swappiness
vm.swap_token_timeout
Actually using sysctl is the same as reading/writing values from/in the
files found in /proc. For example

From what I understand, Linux memory isn't freed up until it is full.
Is there a way to find out how much memory is actively in use? It
would also be useful to know the maximum amount of memory that was
actively in use over a given period of time.
Also, I've noticed in top that when my

If the question is whether it is normal that the swap space is not freed
even when it's not being used anymore, the answer would be yes.
Writing to disk is too expensive, so I think the kernel does free

My server is mainly used for apache2 with mod_perl. I would think
that cache comes in handy. Will a web server pretty much always find
something more to cache, or can you add memory to the point where
everything that can be cached is cached?

That does change things. In my opinion, I would do
