Keywords: memory, vmstat Message-ID: <1bm3ntINNbe4@frigate.doc.ic.ac.uk> Date: 16 Oct 92 09:58:21 GMT Sender: kd@laotzu (Kostis Dryllerakis) Organization: Imperial College, London, U.K. Lines: 19 NNTP-Posting-Host: laotzu.doc.ic.ac.uk Dear all, My experiences with BSD have been excellent up to this point. All is running well and very fast on my 486DX50 (No chache memory problems either!) but it seems that I am running easily out of memory (*MB) when running X-windows. Of course that will be the case since each client (if I am not mistaken) needs a copy of the X-library to run. But swapping on disk space seems to take a lot of time and the system can even come to almost a halt! trying to trace any possible leaks or problems I wanted to find a copy of vmstat that will work under the i386 architecture. The copy available from the BSD reno has to be modified and I am not the expert to do so. Not much has to be done though; if anybody has done so I would be obliged for a copy of the modified source! Please direct your answers through e-mail and if an interest exist I will send a summary and/or any sources I received Thanks in advance Kostis
