I receive the following error message in my Apache error_log after pressing the submit
button in "machine-gun like fashion" on one of my forms that requires roughly a minute
to process each request using Apache::DBI, mod_perl and PostgreSQL.

I did it out of curiosity, and to see if it would hang the server [it didn't :) ], but
was wondering if it is possible to increase the number of free buffers, and how I
would go about doing it. I'm not even sure if they are operating system dependent, or
application dependent, but there seems to be enough memory available on my Linux box...
total used free shared buffers cached

Thanks!
