Estimating the right cache size...



Hi, I have a McKoi server installation for production with 512MB RAM, Linux
SuSE 8,1 with only the essential services:

network
cron
kbd
sshd

and of course mckoidb

I assigned -Xms256 -Xmx256 to McKoi process, but only the default 4MB of
cache. The other 256MB are reserved for Linux.

Questions:

1) May I take from Linux more RAM, considering that Linux is loading very
few services? or I that may degrade vital OS functions?

2) Will McKoi benefit from a larger cache? How big could it be? considering
the actual 256MB dedicated to McKoi

Best regards,
Martin
