Please see more info + vmstat at Is there a specific problem you are trying to solve, or is this more a curiosity-driven exercise? Your server was not suffering from shortage of RAM to start out, so adding more would not be expected to improve performance. > http://serverfault.com/questions/433281/doubled-up-ram-to-32-gb-now-how-to-speed-up-a-lapp-server If you expand the "COMMAND" field of the "top" display (by hitting "c" on my linux), you can probably see what the top "postmaster" process is doing. Anyway, it looks like your server is mostly bored. If there is a specific performance problem, it might be in the client side, or network latency.
