Hello there, I'm wondering if there's any way to reduce cyrus imapd memory footprint , in order to avoid swapping. I noticed that same OS version and same config has different footprints in servers with different number of users. My config is : FreeBSD 5.4-stable, cyrus imap 2.2.12 , cyrus-sasl 2.1.21 , db-4.3.27 , works nicely with between 50k and 100k mailboxes per server. Cyrus-Sasl is compiled without GSSAPI but with MySQL and db4.3.27. The process size of imapd, pop3d or lmtpd is between 60 and 100M , with resident size of only between 5 or 10M. I tried changing berkeley_cachesize , and the type of mailboxes.db (skiplist and berkeley) but nothing changed.
Woah...60+M? That doesn't sound right at all...Linux 2.4 w/ cyrus 2.1.17 only does like 3M or so per process....My freebsd box shows different stats (4.11) with a similar version of cyrus does show a VSIZE/VSZ of around 40M with a 5M real usage.... I think VSZ/SIZE/VSIZE on FreeBSD is funny and includes space that libs are using maybe. Either way something isn't quite right with your setup because it's something like 2x mine if we're sharing datapoints. FreeBSD always shows more usage because IIRC the VSZ field is just the upper brk/sbrk limit of the process or something like that.
DOes anybody have any suggestion on how to reduce the process size of imapd ?
