Relink the server with either -lgnumalloc or -ldlmalloc (found in ports/devel/libdlmalloc). The libc's malloc take as much as two times the memory needed per allocation. I think we should throw away the libc's malloc and adopt another one. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD keltia 2.0-BUILT-19950503 #3: Wed May 3 19:53:04 MET DST 1995
