Thanks, it will not help you a lot but I don't like the numbers for 'cached'
(70% of total RAM available / 50% of non swapcached), same for 'inactive'.
but anyway I never have liked the VM of Linux 2.4 and theese numbers are probably OK.
The server seems to respond a little better now than a few hours ago.
The huge iddle time is really a problem with new hardware it will be exactly the same.
Such a memory leak which reappear after 30 secs is also .. annoying.
How is the loadavg relatively to the 'normal' ? Huge is suppose?
