Hi, In my experience, I can several nsd processes on a single machine, from 4M to 300M without any problem. I am running on a Netra T1 with 512M ram and 1,5G swap. Here is my actual top :
last pid: 26536; load averages: 0.35, 0.37, 0.34 21:04:18 37 processes: 36 sleeping, 1 on cpu CPU states: 86.0% idle,11.8% user,1.8% kernel,0.4% iowait,0.0% swap Memory: 512M real, 9936K free, 650M swap in use, 763M swap free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 22162 nsadmin 17 59 0 277M 171M sleep 24.8H 6.09% nsd76 23468 nsadmin 14 59 0 70M 37M sleep 62:34 2.81% nsd76 22453 nsadmin 5 59 0 4320K 2760K sleep 73:25 0.07% nsd76 23380 nsadmin 11 58 0 23M 12M sleep 3:48 0.05% nsd76 23280 nsadmin 21 58 0 66M 47M sleep 18:21 0.03% nsd76 7506 nsadmin 8 58 0 143M 78M sleep 58:25 0.00% nsd76 20939 nsadmin 8 59 0 54M 41M sleep 4:36 0.00% nsd76 23566 nsadmin 10 22 0 4104K 2608K sleep 0:07 0.00% nsd76 I am using nsv to cache some of my pages (pages calculated every hour), and I reset the nsv array every day, this is important to not have the memory growing infinitely (the pages I cache are with "?..." vars in the URL and there can be tons of pages in cache, so when I reset the array every day, after 2 or 3 days, I have a nsd memory "stabilisation" 5 am not sure about the english word...). Hope this help. Best Regards.

I don't think of physical RAM and swap, I think of AOLserver and starting new threads, using ns_eval to propagate changes from APIs to all other processes, responding to requests and similar things. What are sizes you usually see on your systems? This is something on my machine, for example: PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT CPU MEM TIME COMMAND 26591 nsadmin 17 0 70944 68M 2616 S 0.0 13.6 0:50 nsd 26594 nsadmin 15 0 70944 68M 2616 S 0.0 13.6 0:00 nsd 26595 nsadmin 20 0 70944 68M 2616 S 0.0 13.6 0:00 nsd 26596 nsadmin 15 0 70944 68M 2616 S 0.0 13.6 0:21 nsd 26601 nsadmin 15 0 70944 68M 2616 S 0.0 13.6 0:00 nsd 26602 nsadmin 15 0 70944 68M 2616 S 0.0 13.6 0:06 nsd (and it runs without problems so far).
