Folks,
I am having performance issue with one of the application. It looks like it is running low on the memory.
In addition to add new memory to the system, is there anything can be done while we are waiting for the memory upgrade?
Yes. You could add a swap file if you have enough
disk space:
dd if=/dev/zero of=path_to_your_file bs=1024 count=number_of_MB_you_want_to_add
mkswap -v1 path_to_your_file
swapon path_to_your_file
Also keep in mind that when the physical memory is
full and the application is alocating more and
mor memory your system will run at the speed of the hard drive

Thanks in advance

Bye
