Shane had me set the "Target Time Between Accesses" to 3 seconds. I have futzed with it and now have it at 30 seconds. Also, the "target Size" was at 20,000 objects and now I have it at 10,000. >Also a "free" would be helpful too. total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 971452 966896 4556 2448 627104 92608 -/+ buffers/cache: 247184 724268 Swap: 128480 6732 121748 > Under linux, > shared memory is amongst the last to be scavenged in low memory conditions. > I'm curious to see if something is allocating that memory as shared or what. > > You might also try an "ipcs -a" command to make sure it's not SYSV type > shared memory (which can stick around even after a process exits.) ------ Shared Memory Segments -------- key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status ------ Semaphore Arrays -------- key semid owner perms nsems status ------ Message Queues -------- key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages Things are moving pretty speedilly since I adjusted the setcheckinterval. Thanks Matt!! I'll send the output of these commands after a Zope exit at the end of our intranet business here today. Just think, with ZEO I won't have to wait until the close of business ('cause the web is never closed:) Thanks again, -- Jason Spisak [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
