The fact is that this appliances does not have Swap because it runs over a flash card. Look:
top - 15:12:58 up 37 min, 2 users, load average: 0.05, 0.07, 0.27 Tasks: 67 total, 1 running, 66 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 0.3%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.3%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 255692k total, 248524k used, 7168k free, 4k buffers Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 27668k cached If I do a swat at flash card then performance will go down. I only have 2 amavis children. I could do amavis 2.6.2 rpm to test if it has been corrected.
