Hello, I'm very puzzled by the memory usage in recent builds of osol-dev. I'm running it on my laptop which is a not too recent but quite ok dell latitude 620 with core2 duo proc and 1G ram. swap is (auto) configured to 512M. At some moments disk writes are continuously hampering performance to the point that it remains barely usable for several minutes. I suppose it is swapping. As soon as load rises a bit i get "cannot fork" messages. I've been running opensolaris on this laptop since indiana preview and I do not recall having these problems befre, let's say the last 2 or 3 upgrades. What's going on ? Is this a known problem ? Is 1G ram unsufficient to run a desktop on a laptop ? How can I investigate further ? prstat -s rss shows X and gconf using at least 1/4 of memory !
