This fixes it! No more high smtx values (even when launching hundreds of perl scripts) with this page size, and the box stays responsive. So i assume the box is running low on main memory even though vmstat scan rate is low? Is there any other fix than migrating some memory hungry processes? Could i run more processes with this default heap page size? Is this recommended or a bad idea (i guess they will brk what they need anyways). Something to put into /etc/system? Thanx for your help!
