hi,fast
I using tomcat , jdk , mysql for our development server.There are two
projects under development . There are 16 users connect to the server ,
they use telnet for working .My system slows down by afternoon and slower
in the evening. My " uptime " command shows like this ,
[root@server godwin]# uptime
4:32pm up 6:43, 17 users, load average: 1.14, 1.79, 1.74
I know that the values above should be below 1 to make the system work
, This is my guessing , Can any one suggest me why this is happening
??????? and what can I do to free my system from unwanted memory lock down
???
