Michael, how much RAM on this box? [msoulier@kanga ~]$ sysctl -a | grep Memory Virtual Memory: (Total: 720K, Active 537852K) Real Memory: (Total: 236228K Active 123640K) Shared Virtual Memory: (Total: 24812K Active: 11880K) Shared Real Memory: (Total: 12136K Active: 6672K) Free Memory Pages: 11692K Mem: 124M Active, 25M Inact, 75M Wired, 10M Cache, 34M Buf, 768K Free Swap: 471M Total, 67M Used, 403M Free, 14% Inuse It's not a lot, but it's always been fine for me when running Linux as a headless server.=20 > I once set up a box with 256M RAM and 512M swap, which was > all good && fine until I got a few extra $$ and decided to up the > RAM to 768M.

I don't think that's the case. I did notice poorer performance while sshing into the box in the last few days. If the jdk does have a leak, that would explain it.=20 I think I'll keep an eye on the size of the java process.=20 [msoulier@kanga ~]$ top -b -d1 | grep java 1988 www 20 0 219M 34264K kserel 1:31 0.00% 0.00% java Mike --=20 Michael P.
