You may want to have your top's sorted by RESident memory use and to list swap info (despite difficulty using the specific numbers shown in the column), including for system processes: -wSores being involved. This may help with judgments about how likely adjusting the following might be able to help make notably more memory available: vm.swap_idle_enabled: 0 vm.swap_idle_threshold1: 2 vm.swap_idle_threshold2: 10 === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
