Nuno,
Thanks for the excelent description of my error. I have learnt a little
more about Linux virtual memory model. Very glad to hear Sqlite is as
perfect as ever :)
My problem, which is definitely my problem, is that 90 x 16MB of
reserved memory is still a loss of 1.4G. Especially as I use hardly any
of it.
Each process has it's own virtual address space, so 16MB of reserved
virtual addresses (except when they are kernel addresses) for one
process doesn't do nothing to the ammount of virtual addresses free
for other processes. And as each process usually has 2/3GB of virtual
addresses for it's own use, 16MB is pretty low (it depends on the
system, but 2 GB is the most common minimum, on 32 bits).
I still find strange that your program uses so much virtual addresses,
but you didn't specify (or I don't recall) what language you are using
and what libraries you are linking to. You may want to investigate
this further.
Regards,
~Nuno Lucas
