Just as an example, I run a GK 2.2.6 instance on a 1GB RAM P4 machine running SuSE 9.1 (ok, an old version, but it's running fine). Installed and running are SNMP, MySQL 5.1.18 and GK. TOP reports, for GnuGK, "10m" on the RES column just after a restart and "11m" after 6 hours of traffic. It's a low traffic instance (543 calls in this time). Are this numbers OK? How could I measure the real memory footprint? Shouldn't this information be presented on the 'statistics' command? It would be very helpful...
