It's Linux, yes. The si and so columns were in the hundreds when I did "vmstat 1", but I didn't save it at the moment the machine had a high load average and lots of swap space used. > No, mysql is taking up 23MB.

Well, here's a ps (sorted by memory, greatest memory usage is at the bottom): http://lina.aaanime.net/~pmak/memory.txt At the bottom, it's all mysqld processes. A total of about 1400 MB of RAM is being used... so if mysqld's memory is all shared, I guess it's all from the apache processes adding up? Oh, does anyone know how to make "ps" not show shared memory used by processes more than once? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
