Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Management Server Memory Requirements

Yes, these are great data points, but so far nobody has responded on that 
ticket with the information required to know if the slowness is related to 
memory settings or swapping. That was just a hunch on my part from being a 
system admin.

How much memory do these systems have that experience issues? What does 
/proc/meminfo say during the issues? Does adjusting the tomcat6.conf memory 
settings make a difference (see ticket comments)? How much memory do the java 
processes list as resident in top?
