Am I the only one who have this problem???

I am only using SVN CLI.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] niclas]$ uname -a
Linux f2.hedhman.org 2.4.20-20.9 #1 Mon Aug 18 11:45:58 EDT 2003 i686 i686 
i386 GNU/Linux

I have 2 ATA disks on the primary controller, and they are mirrored with 
SoftRAID.

No other software I have, shows this type of lock-up, unless running out  of 
RAM and thrashing starts, in fact SVN behaves exactly like thrashing came 
into the picture. Could that be the case??? I got 512MB and 'on a regular 
day' "top" would report something like;

 01:56:59  up 2 days, 20:42, 13 users,  load average: 2.05, 0.97, 0.79
101 processes: 94 sleeping, 7 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:   2.3% user   3.7% system   0.0% nice   0.0% iowait  93.8% idle
Mem:   513852k av,  507388k used,    6464k free,       0k shrd,   69212k buff
                    384884k actv,    1200k in_d,   11024k in_c
Swap: 1012072k av,   92016k used,  920056k free                  212484k 
cached

(sorry for the bad formatting)
Which I interpret that 'cached memory' is plenty and will be released if 
necessary. Or does the intensive file reads (writes?) upset the Linux 
algorithm of 'cached' vs 'thrashed' memory?


Hmmmm.... <headache quickly approaching from too much thinking>


Cheers
