or just try the patch i've posted yesterday. I'd say it's a reasonable
solution up to 3G physical memory, and can be used until 3.8G physical
mem. True, with a 3G:1G split you get only 1G user memory per process,
but:
1) if it's a big server, it has many (smaller) processes
2) if it's a simulation system, it will have some 4 CPUs anyway,
thus it will run 4 heavy processes at least.
i still have to see a valid setup where it's a disadvantage to have 'only'
1GByte user virtual memory.
