However, 2GB of cache_mem is too much imho, if you use disk cache, lower cache_mem to 1GB or 512 MB and let OS cache the rest of data (cache_mem only caches data fetched from servers, not data fetched from disk). -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
