Here are the numbers straight form thehorses mouth: Mem: 1234464k total, 1224416k used, 10048k free, 2284k buffers Swap: 1048936k total, 939956k used, 108980k free, 268164k cached The VM lpar if 3g and yes the entire guest apps are in java. The thing about the free and buffer is that they are dynamic numbers, so I wouldn't know where to change them. thx

The number will reach into the mid 40s. How big is your VM system? That's an awfully large Linux system, and maybe what you're seeing is that VM is finding it difficult to get the entire guest into working storage at once. Look at the output of free, pay special attention to how much is in buffers and cache, and resize the guest's real store to effectively eliminate that amount. Also, what is going on on the system to make the number of eligible processes jump to 40? I'm going to hazard a guess that it's some hideously exuberantly-threaded Java app. Am I right?
