You mean you added RAM just because of this? Well, you might understand now why the added memory haven't changed things - it wasn't missing in the first place. If you suspect you don't have enough RAM then you should look for signs of excess thrashing (kernel keep reading pages from the disk because it can't keep their copies in the RAM, and it keeps paging out to the swap space for the same reason). If you are generally looking at how to improve your machine's performance then you should look at what the system in general or individual processes are waiting on (IO vs. swapping/paging vs. network vs. cpu are the major groups of options I can think off right now). I'm not familiar with specific up-to-date tools and methods on how to do this, I suppose google (and the list) can help you there. --Amos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
