Or is there like a memory leak in > this version? couple of things: - - recent versions of linux (most 2.4.x kernels in Fedora Core, and all 2.6.* kernels) report "shared" incorrectly in ps and top output, only counting the pages loaded from shared libs instead of the pages actually being shared by the kernel. In fact, quite a bit more memory is being shared. check list archives for details. - - SpamAssassin 3.1.0 will include an Apache-style preforking system, which is more sensible in its use of RAM -- it'll only start a minimum number of processes, attempts to keep a small number of those procs active to minimize paging, and kills off servers that aren't being used. In the meantime, I'd suggest lowering the number of spamd processes being used. - --j. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh CVS iD8DBQFB7V0eMJF5cimLx9ARAlThAKCSnhA0vCzLIPEoG/vptvbIew5seQCgkUgD /VRM5IEzl1oxejf0Jon6O20= =kb/0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
