Three words:
Buy more RAM.
If vmstat reports lots of page faults, you need more RAM.

Subject: How do I turn off swap
I have processes running on a AW51E (Ultra 30) that drop into
virtual memory several days after boot. They then consume the
machine with lots of disk thrashing. I've experimented with
vfstab and /sbin/swapadd, and eliminated swap. This stops the
disk thrashing, but it left me with a /tmp directory that is
small and completely memory-based. I'm wondering if I should
further modify /etc/vfstab, and mount /tmp to /dev/md/dsk/d1?
If anyone has more expert knowledge on how to go about this,
I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Jim Murphy
