Under moderately high load i'm seeing a lot of swapping periodically
through
the day (and then load avg going way, way up, of course). I'm wondering
why
is there, with so much inactive memory, so much disk swapping?
The machine runs some fairly intense stuff, such as squid, postgresql,
and
zope; but it seems to me there should be enough RAM to cover all of this
without swapping. What am I missing? Am i misinterpretting the stats, and
just not understanding how the vm works?
What is the memory use of your applications? Reported by top (SIZE and
RES) or by ps.
How much (different) data from/to disk is being processed by your
applications in what time interval?
