> hmm, well, okay, if you say so. Others have said so, as well. You are looking at a single heavyweight process. Linux shows a separate PID for each and every lightweight process (which I consider stupid, but I don't use Linux so my opinion doesn't matter...). All those lightweight processes are running out of a single chunk of address space. When top lists "27M" for each process, its reporting the SAME 27M for each one. > is there some way i can change the number of threads? > or do i have to compile from source? You'd probably have to hack the source to do so. And it probably wouldn't gain you anything except an extreme performance hit. -- Brandon Hume - hume -> BOFH.Halifax.NS.Ca, http://WWW.BOFH.Halifax.NS.Ca/ -> Solaris Snob and general NOCMonkey
