Actually, I think a percentage of RAM is a bogus metric to measure.
For example, on a 2TBytes system, you would be wasting 80 GBytes.
Perhaps you should look for a more meaningful threshold.
So percent of memory consumed is not a useful efficiency metric? Is
this true even if a double precision floating point value is used? :-)
It seems like a more useful measure (on a server) is a caching
efficiency metric. If the cache hit ratios are poor yet the cache is
continually being loaded with new data, then there may be a resource
availability issue.
