Hello everyone, Yesterday I installed OpenSolaris for the first time, so excuse me that I'm not 100% familiar with it. I have been using Linux and FreeBSD for a while now (perhaps 2 years). After getting my network connection to work, I noticed that the performance of OpenSolaris was terrible on my machine. To give an example: Loading Firefox takes over 20 seconds the first time I start it. The same goes for a lot of other programs, even the terminal takes a few seconds to start.
I also noticed that the RAM usage was excessive, the performance monitor reports 426MB of RAM, when using just Firefox and Gaim, and another 41MB in swap space. Playing video etc does seem to work just fine, without any lagg; it really is just the starting up of processes. I'll post some information about my system below: bash-3.00$ vmstat kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr cd cd f0 s0 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 0 648100 120724 63 306 188 22 42 0 107 26 0 1 31 540 2812 846 18 7 76 As you can see (you probably can't, because it's not a monospace font) the page/sr is 107, which should be "okay" bash-3.00$ df -k /tmp Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on swap 593432 204 593228 1% /tmp used: 204 of course conflics with the performance monitor which reports 41MB. My system: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67GHz) 512MB SD RAM GeForce4 MX420 (64MB) Thanks in advance This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list [email protected]
