Burton,
Unfortunately I'm not a C guru, so on my own (without your help) I can't
trace the code.
I'm using the -x (-X) switch because right now on a smp machine with 2 Gb
of ram and without the -x (-X) switch ntop is consuming over 40% of the
processor resources (on both processors) and 40% of the disponible memory.
It seems that Ntop is a very resource hungry apllication :).
I'm using the switches in order to reduce the apetite of ntop.
Now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I'm willing to help but without
you is nearly impossible.
TIA,
Marius
