set number of frees for garbage collection = parameter
Is there anything like this in OBSD? Is it even necessary? I'm sure that OpenBSD has a very good memory management program built in to the kernel. However, the reason I'm asking is...several times over the last couple of days, Netscape has complained to me that it's out of memory. However, this box has 96mb of RAM and it doesn't do anything really. It's my secondary name server for only 15 zones. (Not much, but the company I work for isn't very good at getting new business.)
I'm of course running X, but that's about it. Netscape here and there. Nothing is running. I'd be surprised if I have 25 processes running. I'm surprised. I just opened xterm and I'm running top. I've got 42 processes running. Anyway, the system generally sits at 97 - 99.8 % idle. My swap space is pretty much unused. I just didn't pstat -s, it's at 0% capacity. Memory, pretty much the same. Why would Netscape complain about memroy?
By the way, it's a Pentium 200. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.
