L.S., I have just moved over to OpenSolaris from Linux (Ubuntu, SuSE) for doing my regular (mainly Java and Scala) development work. Although the system seems to work quite nicely, I do notice a much higher usage of RAM than with my previous OS when running the same kind of workload. When looking at the gnome system monitor, I now regularly exceed the 2GB of physical RAM available while I only had that in Linux when I was really running multiple instances of the ESB I'm working on or things like that. Even in an idle state, the system uses over 1GB of RAM.
Now, with OpenSolaris being more geared towards the server, I can imagine there are services running in the background. Are there services that could/should be enabled when using the system as a development workstation instead of a server? Are there any other things I can do to get this issue addressed? You probably need a lot more information, so just let me know what it is you need to help me out... Thanks in advance, Gert -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
