You can see this kind of output. == Cause Maximum Percentage Writing a page to disk 551.6 msec 36.8 % Fork() system call 273.7 msec 1.1 % Page fault 253.9 msec 29.5 % Writing buffer to disk (synchronous) 225.9 msec 2.9 % Creating block layer request 202.7 msec 17.1 % Walking directory tree 161.5 msec 1.4 % [congestion_wait] 97.6 msec 4.4 % Executing a program 97.1 msec 0.3 % synchronous write 73.9 msec 0.1 % == IMHO, if memory limit is the problem, "Page Fault" tend to be big.
