It should be around 5MB. If it is more, then your linux grabs swap more eagerly for some reason. Karen has made some experiments on her Redhat and she can run several eclipse -g 1000M processes at once, even though she has only 128MB Ram + 256MB swap. This is the behaviour I would expect. -- Joachim Schimpf / phone: +44 20 7594 8187 IC-Parc, Imperial College / mailto:J.Schimpf@ic.ac.uk London SW7 2AZ, UK / http://www.icparc.ic.ac.uk/eclipseReceived on Wed Nov 27 19:14:34 2002
