without running out of physical RAM. =A0I noticed something strange when comparing top and free statistics:

top says each PID associated with a particular server has a RES of
about 100M. =A0Does that mean each running instance of that server
reserves 100MB?=A0
=A0
Top man page:
=A0=A0= =A0=A0=A0=A0 17. RES=A0 --=A0 Resident Memory Size (KiB)
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0= =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 The non-swapped physical memory a task has used.
