Maybe its related to how busy the machine is or what kind of network it
sits on, I had ntop v.2.1.55 running on a box at work. Its been up for
"3 day(s) 2:44:23" so far. I still haven't set it up properly really,
haven't had time. The main thing is, it doesn't appear to use *large*
amounts of RAM or CPU usage for my network. When I say large well,

$ps aux | grep ntop
ntop     29482  0.0 11.3 88760 36264 ?       SN   Jan21   0:00 ./ntop -u
ntop -m
ntop     29485  0.0 11.3 88760 36264 ?       SN   Jan21   0:00 ./ntop -u
ntop -m
ntop     29486  0.0 11.3 88760 36264 ?       SN   Jan21   0:00 ./ntop -u
ntop -m

ntop     29488  0.0 11.3 88760 36264 ?       SN   Jan21   0:08 ./ntop -u

ntop -m
ntop     29490  0.0 11.3 88760 36264 ?       RN   Jan21   4:12 ./ntop -u
ntop -m

My box has 320,540 kB of ram.

Seems to run fine still, http://gshock.co.uk:3000
