Also, memory is so cheap these days, why not use add a lot of memory, 16GB total for example, and have plenty of headroom.

I don't know the criticality of the application, but for the unix.com server, I like to have double the memory the system typically requires, for those days when things go south on the net or a process hangs, etc.

Code:
top - 02:18:33 up 68 days, 54 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.76, 0.52, 0.48
Tasks: 226 total,   2 running, 160 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie
%Cpu(s):  3.3 us,  0.4 sy,  0.0 ni, 96.2 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.1 si,  0.0 st
KiB Mem : 65842320 total, 27976264 free,  3082788 used, 34783268 buff/cache
KiB Swap:  7995388 total,  7995388 free,        0 used. 61988500 avail Mem

But of course unix.com is critical infrastructure for many people on the net Smilie

So, I don't like any bits to swap, if I can help it, since faster is generally better for users.

SYSMON(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 SYSMON(8)

NAME
sysmon, stats - display graphs of system activity SYNOPSIS
sysmon [ machine [ -option ] ] stats [ -option ] DESCRIPTION
Sysmon displays a rolling graph of various statistics collected by the operating system. The statistics may be from a remote machine. A sample value is taken once per second. The number in the top left corner of the graph gives the peak value for the duration of the graph. Lines across the graph represent 75%, 50%, and 25% of the peak value. Clicking a mouse button anywhere in the window cycles through the list of parameters to monitor; an option letter sets the initial choice. The option letters and parameters are: [m] mem total pages of active memory. The memory is displayed as a fraction of the machine's total memory. [e] ether number of packets sent and received per second. [w] swap number of valid pages on the swap device. The swap is displayed as a fraction of the number of swap pages configured by the machine. [c] contxt number of process context switches per second. [i] intr number of interrupts per second. [f] fault number of memory faults per second. [t] tlbmiss number of translation look-aside buffer misses per second. [p] tlbpurge number of translation lookaside buffer flushes per second. [l] load system load average. The load is computed as a running average of the number of processes ready to run multiplied by 1000 to give some precision. The stats program is invoked by sysmon to display the graph. FILES
