I would think so, yes. The sample configuration file uses 12288, which seems to be a good default. > disadvantage of leaving it at 32k? Also, "top" show mathopd is using 16MB. > If this memory isn't cache, what is it? Is it just the temporary memory > space as images are read from the file system and sent on the web?

The amount of memory used by mathopd is roughly NumConnections * (BufSize + InputBufSize) Also note that memory usage should not grow (or shrink) over time. You can reduce memory footprint either by decreasing NumConnections or BufSize. HTH Cheers Michiel
