It'd be interesting to know where majority of that 98M is going. Memory leak? profligate memory use? or just a huge amount of data? It is probably spending half its time paging. 318:39 for syslogd? Hmm... It'd also be interesting to know who waits for how long and why. Performance tuning can be an interesting and rewarding exercise! -- bakul
