Re: Server misconfiguration???

Yes you're right it really bosst a little.
I want to improve the system performance. Are there any more tipps?

On this server runs only a webserver with php application which uses postgre
Db. Should I give more memory to postgre? From what I noticed this is the
most memory "needing" service from this system.
