   I am curious what other people are running their systems with.  I
   put up X11R3 and the system runs out of memory if you fire up more
   than a couple of windows.  It has the default 16 meg swap at the
   moment.  I am planing on increasing it to around 32 meg or so.
   Has anybody played with "MAXUSERS" in the kernel?  Would jacking
   this up affect performance?   Any other variables you can tweak?
   I have cut the kernel down to the minimum size - 750k down from about
   a meg.

Before you can do anything on the RT you must rebuild the kernel with
maxusers set to 16.  This number is used in determining the sizes of
static kernel tables.  These tables are filling up when you run X.
The GENERIC configuration file has masusers set to 6 which results in
very small tables, too small to run a reasonable number of programs.
