Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Analyzing Linux's top command's result Post 302813855 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 28th of May 2013 08:26:53 AM

Finding performance problems based on the output of a single "look" at top is not usually very productive.

To answer your question: no. You are using a lot of memory - because of oracle shared memory usage, I assume.

You are running oracle. A database box looks, acts, smells, tastes, and in all other ways can appear different from a multiprocessing user box.

What problems are you having? If you want help with your problems, please post
the output of
Code:
uname -a

and then we can give you other things to pursue.
