Date: 21 May 1996 14:05:42 GMT Organization: University of North Florida Lines: 9 Message-ID: <4nsijm$6a9@pelican.unf.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: osprey.unf.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] We just brought up a new web server using FreeBSD with Apache 1.0. I just ran top and see that we have 38 megs of ram used as cache! There's a total of 64 megs on the machine and less than a meg is free. Is this normal? I *hope* those caches are dynamic. We did not see this behavior when the machine was being tested on a standalone network. Is this Apache's doing or FreeBSD? Cliff
