Yes it's swap heavy going by ratio 14.5 : 1.5 is a lot of swap, when ppl talk
about 2x rule of thumbs and so many whinge about even that much swap.
Remind me to stay clear of Java... I used to think Oracle was a memory hog,
what ever happened to the much vaunted 'automatic garbage collection'?
BTW have you tried out 'native' threads as opposed to 'green' threads in a
Java implementation? I wonder if it's as stable.
