Look at your memory with "free -tm" and look the used and free cached
and -/+ buffers/cache.
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1011 949 61 0 389 136
-/+ buffers/cache: 424 587
Swap: 1011 3 1008
Total: 2023 953 1070
While mem: reports 949 used and 61 free, in reality less than half of
that is still in actual use (424) and there is actually (587) of what
was previously in use that is now free. I suspect you will see the same
thing. Someone else will have to further explain the memory management
scheme in more detail.
This is from a current 10.0 server w/1G. For most of it's life it only
had 512M of RAM. It supported, web, mail, vpn, file sharing, groupware,
ftp without problems. I recently upgraded to 1G and performance is
improved, same rock solid performance.
