Re: gsx auf linux

First of all, this is an english spoken mailinglist..

but to your question, that has like nothing to do with domino... 

it's pretty fine that a machine has like no ram left even if you got an 
huge amount of ram.

if you would do a "cat /proc/meminfo" you would see that most of that ram 
is used for internal buffers. this ram will be unallocated and assigned to 
applications as soon as they try to alloc ram for themselves.

forcing a machine to waste ram by not using it at all is no bright idea, 
so is forcing it to use swap.

swap would be quite slow compared to real ram thus dropping performance to 
zero instead of raising it.

i got a machine myself with ~2GB ram, and still only got about 5MB of 
really unassigned and unallocated ram, but most of those 2GB are used for 
buffers.

to raise performance try the following, use a ram buffered raid 5 to speed 
up disk i/o. use faster cpu's with more L2 cache or even better use SMP 
with a bunch of nice xeon's. using a virtual machine system automatically 
means that you will have to live with a "not so performant" system. 
managing virtual systems itself is eating resources like nothing else.
