I use recent STABLE
I lately noticed some memory management related performance problems on
my system -- I haven't changed the software I use (apart from upgrading
some packages) but I get clicks/lags which playing music, which didn't
happen before :( In fact, I've never had such 'lags' when clicking
windows/firefox tabs or problems with music since FreeBSD 4.5.
I tried to trace this, but i don't have an idea how.
It seems there are peaks of faulting, and then freeing a lot of memory.
The music clicks are happening about 2-3 lines (seconds) below the peaks.
Also, there is a lot of 'fr' --freed pages, but the ammount of 'fre' -
free pages does not change. what does this mean? It's not freeing
because of forced swapping, because pi/po is 0 almost all the time
vmstat says:
procs memory page disks faults cpu
