I suspect I'm asking a really stupid question but on looking into performance issues with openserver 5.0.6. I picked up a technical article regarding sar. It basically says as follows:

"SCO_SV tuvok 3.2v5.0.5 i80386 06/21/2001

10:34:13 freemem freeswp availrmem availsmem (-r)
10:34:14 8262 389120 28765 56421
10:34:15 8262 389120 28765 56421
10:34:16 8262 389120 28765 56421
10:34:17 8262 389120 28765 56421
10:34:18 8262 389120 28765 56421

Average 8262 389120 28765 56421

If freemem (listed in 4K pages) is below 500 and freeswap is dynamic, the
system is paging in data because it can't fit what it needs in memory.
If this is happening all the time, increase RAM"



How do I know if my systems freeswp is dynamic.

Thanks
 
Dynamic means changing. In your case it isn't, so it isn't. :-)
