We have a 4d/380s with 128MB of physical memory. It's used for
computational chemistry. Although there's plenty of available memory,
long running processes never seem to stay completely resident as evident
from the top(1) listing below. Why does this happen?
Ocassionally, these processes will be killed due to insufficient swap
storage although we think there is plenty of available memory. The
current swap is 48MB and we will be expanding it to 128MB soon.
