:I just ran a quick test on my systems here. It looks like two :identical systems give results that are approximately: : : VSZ RSS :dynamic: :root 79054 1.3 2.5 1952 1524 pa S 2:56AM 0:00.13 tcsh :static: :root 38788 0.0 0.1 1324 908 pi S 7:53PM 0:00.03 tcsh : :which actually is a little more than the numbers that you quoted above :(this is 4.5-release + a couple of tweaks). These were run 3 minutes :apart on machines in different timezone and were for just the login :case. So it does look like there's more of a penalty for this than I :would have otherwise expected. I don't know how much of the VSZ is :shared with other processes in the dynamic case. : :When I run tcsh, I see a reduction by 592k of memory fre that vmstat :reports in the dynamic case and a 532k reduction in that same :parameter in the static case, so maybe someting is exagerating the :difference between the two in the ps stats. Or maybe something else :ran on the static system (since it is used for other things)... : :Warner We could figure it out by looking at the /proc/N/map for the process I suppose. The number I got seemed a little high, even for something as big as csh. 50K sounds closer to what I would expect it to be. The VSZ and RSS are irrelevant in regards to shareability, but RSZ does give us a hint in regards to the run-time impact the program is having on the VM system. The page-table overhead shouldn't be discounted either. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
