^^^^^^^^ oh the inhumanity!!This is why you system sucks. It's swapping like mad. Xorg (on my system) weighs in a 50-70 MB, Mozilla will tip the scales in that range easily as well. Xterm-static comes in at 3-5MB each. If programs get killed because of swap space, more ram will save the day. Or more swap space, but in your case I say more ram. > Is my system just under spec for freebsd 5.x or is something > else wrong?
