I haven't seen his cache_mem and memory usage, but maybe using more than one GB for disk cache would help a bit without machine starting to swap... But as long as the question was what to do "besides the hardware"... Also: What replacement policy do you (Ow Mun Heng) use? I use heap LFUDA for disk objects and heap GSDF for memory cache. LFUDA gave me 2% better byte radio and GSDF 2% better hit ratio IIRC. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
