Yes you are correct - the values of p/in and p/outs are very high on my server.

But this server has 12G of memory. This should be plenty considering what we are running on the system, so i dont think i can request to purchase more memory. Should i look to see if informix or some other processes are grabbing on the memory on the box?

Thanks ever so much for your guidance.
