Hi guys,
This is TOP output on FBSD 7 box that runs the same software as the DF
box. Actually the FBSD box also runs MySQL and Ruby on Rails!

The difference is clear. The 2 servers have same amount of physical memory.
Im gonna try the memory program, but Im telling you all I really need to
do is start doing some heavy IO and get those postgres processes going
(they usually only use about 30MB RES memory) and the box starts swapping.
