This won't happen in the new setup. Processor power is more than double on both donated servers and there's much more RAM (4 GB each compared to current 1 GB total). Moreover, tasks will be split between machines. You could run 'free' to see how much swap space was used at the time. Anyway, speaking of what is causing the increased workload, I think it's the spam setup. I am not the admin taking care of it and I know basically nothing about it, but some of those things are written in perl and by authors who didn't really have programming or optimization skills. -doc _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
