So, if you keep a "nice top" running in another window, does the system run out of virtual memory and the cpu spin because it is busy swapping itself in and out? Top looks like this: top - 06:49:43 up 15 days, 14:01, 1 user, load average: 0.39, 0.25, 0.22 Tasks: 127 total, 1 running, 126 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 3.3% us, 0.5% sy, 0.0% ni, 96.2% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 1554708k total, 1213940k used, 340768k free, 221272k buffers Swap: 1630556k total, 16432k used, 1614124k free, 338284k cached If the "wa" value is really high, then you are probably swapping excessively. It it is "sy" then you are IO bound, but if it is "us", then there may really be a problem with clamav. I can't imagine running any distribution on 64mb of ram. > which is used as a mail server running > qmail.
